Visit Shinyanga Region


Shinyanga Region is a province located in the northwest corner of Tanzania. It boasts beautiful natural sights, including Serengeti National Park, Lake Victoria and nearby hills. The area is known for its cultural heritage, with traditional Maasai ceremonies having been conducted here for centuries.

One of the highlights of Shinyanga Province is Burigi-Chato National Park, which covers over 478 square kilometers and includes wetlands and marshlands teeming with various species of birds and wildlife. Nearby are also Nguruman Escarpment Reserve and Sitiitwa Nature Reserve which offer breathtaking views from atop rocky outcroppings as well as hiking trails through dense forests.

Another popular attraction in Shinyanga Province is the Usangi Ruins, a site dating back to before 1650 AD that was once an important trading post between farmers from Unyamwezi province and Maasai cattle herders who traveled from Rwanda to barter their goods at the market there. Finally no visit to Shinyanga should be complete without stopping by Katesh Town where one can view ancient tombs that were built during German colonization in East Africa or stroll through Baray Market where traditional craftsmen continue selling products made using techniques passed down throughout generations of locals living in this region.
