Salima's strategic location at the junction of several trunk roads ensures that all visitors to Senga Bay pass through en route. Using public transport, you’ll have to disembark at the bus station to pick up a matola to Senga Bay. The only motivations for exploring this rather nondescript and sprawling town beyond the bus station are practical: it has several banks, a post office, a bustling market, internet and a couple of well-sticked supermarkets. Should you end up there for a night, a few adequate rest houses are dotted around the bus station.
