WALKGARD Westland Hotel & Tours Limited was established to develop the unexploited tourist market in Kagera Region. For example in Bukoba town, which is the Regional center, there were only 4 hotels but none of which provided stansard accomodation and other services for reputable customers. Due to the lack of adequate and decent accomodation, most travellers in Bukoba spent nights in tents erected in hotels and school play grounds. The situation in other towns of the Region was even worse!

Kagera region is endowed with a lot of tourist attractions but due to the situation noted above, the market had remained undeveloped as investors invariably shunned away due to lack of basic supportive infrastructure.

We pioneered in this business by constructing the hotel at the most attractive location overlooking the Lake Victoria. It is located exactly three kilometers from Bukoba Township, the administrative center of Kagera Region. Lying on the slopes of Kashura Hills, the hotel overlooks the western shores of Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake.

The hotel is conveniently located, in such a way that it will take you barely 10 minutes to drive and reach it from all important places in the township, including the airport, the harbour and the main bus terminal. The hotel provides transport services to its guests.

The hotel offers you comfort, friendliness and courtesy, all in one, as well as a memorable experience of your stay in this cool, fresh-aired and spectacular lakeside township of Bukoba.We also specialise in Safaris and Guided Tour along and within Lake Victoria; which explores the Magic of Kagera that includes its geography, its people and their wide variety of cultures intertwined here and there with foreign influences.

The lake Victoria and its abundant rainfall attract a rich variety of fauna and flora and a dense human population. This area has four Game reserves and one National Park namely Rumanyika and Ibanda Game reserves in the north, Biharamulo and Burigi Game reserves to the south and Rubondo Island National Park on the Lake, quite close to Biharamulo game reserve on the East.
