Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Bukoba?
The best area to stay in Bukoba is generally along the shores of Lake Victoria, particularly near the town centre for convenience and access.

This area offers straightforward access to the main administrative buildings, local markets, and a selection of eateries. You'll find properties that provide views of Lake Victoria and are within easy reach of the Bukoba Airport, making arrivals and departures stress-free. The main road, often referred to as Bukoba-Mwanza Road in parts, connects key locations.

For business travellers, staying near the town centre is ideal due to its proximity to government offices, banks, and other commercial hubs. It minimises travel time for meetings and provides access to essential services.

Couples looking for a relaxing stay will appreciate hotels located slightly outside the direct town centre but still with lake views. These properties often provide a more tranquil setting while still being a short drive from local attractions.
When is the best time to go to Bukoba?
The best time to visit Bukoba is during the dry season, which runs from June to September and again from December to February.

During these months, you'll experience pleasant, sunny weather with lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the town and surrounding areas. The dry conditions also mean the roads are generally in better condition, which is a significant plus for travel around the Kagera region. This period is superb for those looking to engage in outdoor activities or visit local attractions without the interruption of heavy rains.

Travellers planning wildlife safaris in nearby national parks, like Rubondo Island, will also find these dry seasons most favourable. The vegetation is less dense, making wildlife spotting easier, and animals tend to congregate around water sources.

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
