Lindi Municipality is a small Town with a number of guest houses, restaurants and hotels. The town itself is very attractive. Thanks to the colonial period there are a number of interesting buildings.
The ruin of the old British Military Overseas Administration Headquarters,
The BOMA, with its strangler figs growing in the window openings, is particularly pictorial.
The lovely beaches on the Indian Ocean shore also attract tourists.
The Island of Bats (Kisiwa cha Popo), where the fruit bats rest during the day, makes a nice outing tourism in the Municipality.
The main problem with tourism had been the lack of good connections to other places, getting to Lindi Municipality in the past was difficult. But today’s infrastructure provides a good linkage between Eastern and Southern regions. The construction of the good, paved road to Dar es Salaam, and the road from Rufiji Bridge to Mingoyo, has improved the situation considerably shortening the travel time to five or six hours. As more and more tourists discover the beauties of the Southern coast of Tanzania, there is potential for successful investment in services for tourists.
