Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mbala?
The best area to stay in Mbala is typically within the town centre or along the main road leading out towards the Mbala-Kasama highway.

The town centre offers the most convenience, with a concentration of local shops, markets, and eateries. You'll find a few guesthouses and smaller hotels here. It's a practical base for travellers who want easy access to local amenities and the feel of daily life in Mbala.

For those interested in exploring the natural beauty surrounding Mbala, particularly Lake Tanganyika, staying a bit further out along the road towards the lake can be beneficial. While accommodation options might be fewer, they often provide easier access to transport links heading to places like the Kalambo Falls or the lake shore.
When is the best time to go to Mbala?
The best time to go to Mbala is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, you'll experience clear skies and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the local area without the heavy rains. The dry season also means wildlife viewing is generally better, as animals congregate around fewer water sources.

For those keen on exploring the natural beauty, like Kalambo Falls or Lake Chila, the dry season offers easier access and better visibility. The roads are less muddy, and the paths to viewpoints are more accessible, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable trip for couples or solo adventurers.

If you're interested in cultural experiences and local festivals, the end of the dry season, particularly around September and October, can be a particularly rewarding time to visit.
