This area to the far North of Tanzania and west of Lake Victoria is considered by many to be the loveliest place in Tanzania. It is our homeland and where you experience the true heart of Africa!
This tour explores Bukoba and its surrounding area, showing you ancient rock art in Mugana and Kaajai; the spectular pillars of the Kamachumu escarpment and evidence of iron technology practiced 500years BC in Katuruka. You will also visit spice and vanilla farms and hear about the traditional hierarchical rulers of our land, walking in the footsteps of those who reigned long before other cultures came to our shores.
You will experience our greatest pride, Lake Victoria – its role in our history, its place in modern day life, and its unique Islands including Africa’s only island based national park, Rubondo Island National Park. This spectacular park lies only two hours away from Bukoba and encompasses a staggering variety of habitats and wildlife from indigenous birds to Nile fresh water fish; from to hippos to elephants and chimpanzees!
You will get a very personal insight into our past and present lifestyle, like no other tour can offer. You will interact with local people, visit their homes and discover thier tribal villages. Past clients have told us that the vibrant and hospitable lifestyle of our region gave them a different perspective on how they should live their own lives when they returned home.
