Lying within the conservation area in the Bukoba district of northwestern Tanzania, this reserve protects one of the largest forests in Tanzania. Its rich and diverse flora and fauna makes it unique in the country. In 2016 the first ever record of an African Golden Cat in Tanzania was captured on film here - a species, about two times the size of a domestic cat, and the only truly forest-dependent cat in Africa. 58 of the 245 bird species recorded in the reserve are not found outside Kagera, while 56 of these have only been seen in Minziro. In addition, more than 600 butterfly species are native here, surpassing any other forest in Africa - a truly remarkable place for nature lovers to visit.
