The rocks are nice to sight viewing. Although they need to work on the grass and the safety of people around the lake waters.

You wanna experience the sunset while in Mwanza? This area should be the right place for you for just 1000 TZS entry fee, for gardeners.

Very beautiful place. Its unfortunate its poorly maintained though. Litter all over and the rocks are a toilet (we experience lots of males coming to relieve themselves there) as a result the rocks are very filthy.

It worthy visiting. They have a well attended garden with plastic chairs. Boats are available for ferrying visitors to different islands at a very reasonable prices. Good breeze.

Beautiful place.When I passed by, I was getting harassed quite aggressively and repeatedly by a group of young guys asking me for money. Never happened anywhere else in Tanzania in more than two months.I guess inside after paying the 1000 shilling entrance fee youre safe.

For all the tourists coming in mwanza u are welcome to see the famous Bismarck rock its has a beautiful view of Lake victoria, especially during sunsets. Theres a small charge of about tsh1000 which is super affordable. Great place for a lazy afternoon and if youre a keen photographer. They offer boat cruise services and ours was quite fun, went up to the nearest islands and learned about the fishermen. The tour is quite slow but if youre a team its cool to just have some fresh air on the lake. The rock is actually quite an amazing sight on all angles. Beautiful neat and tidy place, well kept.

We went here to see what this is actually about..They take 1000shs as entrance to enter the garden and go view the the rocks closely.Tho the view is amazing and all. But more could be done to make it a must place to visit in mwanza.

What a place! Unfortunately city council rules are never clear, so its always a gamble to access the grass area or not (sometimes guys sit there and charge. If they insist, ask for a receipt at least). Better stay on the sidewalk and enjoy an ice cream from the guys with the ice bikes

Must visit when in Mwanza City. The area is a bit crowded as it also serves as a parking area for ferries. You can get great photos of the rock in the morning.

Review №34

An impressive set of rock formation on the shores of Lake Victoria. If Mwanza needs a symbol that is uniquely Mwanza, this is probably it. There is a nicely tended garden bordering the shores where the Bismarck Rock sits, manned by a number of Security Gardeners who would demand 2000 TZS a person for coming onto the garden to take a photo. Not sure how legit this was though, given there were no signs.

Review №35

A nice place to visit when in Mwanza carries a lot of history that goes back to the colonial times, close to the east african fish market and they also allow you to climb on the rocks not just view them from a distance. Would have given it a 5 star rating but we need to get more professional guides at that place that will get you to the places they initially promised

This is one of the touristic attractions in Mwanza due to its history. There are hired boat rides that can take you to the rock or around it, you can also climb to the top where you will see the legendary spears of one of the local chiefs who had supernatural powers.

Review №64

Mwanza (Rock City) is a lonely place in East Africa with a balance of sense in nature due to the presence of the great BISMARCK ROCK. I usually try enough to be curious with the rock but I eventually do really appreciate the place and I do resemble it like among of the most beautiful views in Tanzania as I compare with some rock views in mount Kilimanjaro. Keep in mind once youre in Mwanza City youre not bored in such hence you can make your day adventurous by visiting BISMARCK ROCK and enjoy your day peaceful!#StayCurious#MajitaBay#MkweruGeneration
