KAGERA: The name of one of the two large rivers and
which Kagera region is named. This is the real source of River Nile the longest
river in the world.

pioneer tour operator for more than a decade now have been operating mainly on
cultural tours, safaris to Tanzanian National park, and trip to Uganda for
Gorrilla tracking
Tourism wise, Kagera
is in Tanzania located between four natural African wonders that isGorillas in
Uganda and Serengeti in Tanzania Serengeti,Ngorongoro and Kilimanjaro. Kagera
region lies on the border with several neighbouring countries all hosts to
individual tourist attractions. These include Uganda and Rwanda Gorilla
trekking and Kenya’s well-developed tourism.
Kagerahas many unique attractions that
stand to provide diversity to the Tanzania tourist attractions. The challenges
we have not been able to utilize the same as we have few tour operators known
much about it. KIROYERA TOURS (www.kiroyeratours.com) is a leading tour operator for more
than a decade now, other tour operator is WALKGARD HOTEL AND TOURS and good number of hotel.
The tourist attractions contribute
can contribute to the economic well-being of the region,
improvement of social infrastructure, creating jobs and income for the local
population. Attractions include; pleasant weather, Lake Victoria its size is
equal to Ireland,the largest fresh water lake in Africa with its attractive
islands and spectacular white sand beaches, and have potential to provide many
water-based leisure activities. There is Kagera River, the source of the Nile
which is the longest River in the World, wildlife protection areas and
exceptional bird watching sites a strong culture based on well-run small
Kingdoms documented to the 14th century. This area has unique
biodiversity seen in endemic species of flora and fauna and unique landforms
such as numerous inland lakes and a long eventful history of explorers, the
slave trade, religions, business groups and ancient rock art. Not only that but
also game reserves to mention few Biharamulo, Burigi, Ibanda game reserves,
water falls, Mutagata hot spring, caves, Rubondo Island National park a
paradise for bird lovers and spot fishing.
Kagera is between the Gorillas and the Serengeti both world class
attractions and the region is between five cities including Kampala, Kigali,
