MV Mwanza is a Lake Victoria ferry operating on Lake Victoria in Tanzania. The ferry is a Ro-Pax ferry that operates between the villages of Kigongo and Busisi south of Mwanza town across the Mwanza Gulf in east-west direction. MV Mwanza is not the only ferry along the route (there are three other ferries) which highlights the relevance of the ferry service.[2]

The ferry, now the largest Ro-Pax ferry on Lake Victoria, has two decks for vehicles and goods (main deck and boat deck) and an indoor passenger deck with seats.[1] It was constructed by a local Tanzanian construction company in Mwanza, Songoro Marine Transport.[3]
