Sumbawanga Travel Guide
Tanzania
Sumbawanga is a town of about 89,000 people in southwestern Tanzania. It sits inland, so it is not a beach destination and is best approached as a regional town rather than a coastal resort.
Most visitors arrive by air at Sumbawanga Airport, also known by the code SUT. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the town, so trips here are better suited to inland travel than to planning around the coast.
