MV Umoja is a Lake Victoria ferry in East Africa.

She has been involved in several accidents and is featured in a book by Paul Theroux.

Umoja and her sister ship MV Uhuru were built in 1965 by Yarrow Shipbuilders in Scotstoun, Glasgow, Scotland,[1][4] and entered service in 1966.

[2] At over 300 ft (91 m), they were the longest vessels on any of the East African lakes.

[citation needed] In 1997 TRC's inland shipping division became a separate company, the Marine Services Company Ltd.[5] In his book Dark Star Safari, Paul Theroux gives an account of a journey on Lake Victoria aboard Umoja, detailing the hazards from out-of-date charts and emphasising the friendliness and competence of the crew.
