Getting there

Direction

Access by public transport is easiest from Musoma, from where daladalas (minibuses) run every hour or two.
If you are driving by private car/taxi from Musoma, head along the sealed road towards Mwanza. Ignore the first signposted junction to Butiama (which leads you along 17 kms of bad/very local road, (photo to your right)) but take the second instead, leaving you with only 11 kms of tarmac road. When in Butiama Village - ask at the army base just before the museum - and the curator will come to let you in.
