Bukoba is the ideal stopover for tourists desiring to have a feel of Tanzania and Uganda at a go. Flat and compact, forming a bowl and surrounded by hills, the town is a slow-paced with little or no city hustle and bustle.
The town boasts of a white sandy beach, a large market, a big airport, port, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Enjoy an intriguing getaway at Musira Island, the big chunk of rock in front of the town.
See the path to the summit which passes through the Orthodox Church and homes made from elephant grass.
Have a beer in the evening before sunset with a table set over the grassy area at the Bukoba Club.
