Visitors to Kagera region can travel through Entebbe airport (EBB) in Uganda (with BA, Emirates KLM and SN Brussels). From Entebbe Airport one has to travel to Kampala, where you can get a bus to Bukoba (takes about 5 hours) or us to pick you up.

There are a number of scheduled flights into Bukoba with at least one flight every day from Mwanza with Precision Air. There are also flights into Mwanza everyday from Kilimanjaro and from Dar es Salaam International Airports largely serviced by Air Tanzania the National Airline. The Airport at Bukoba is, however, small and therefore caters for only small aircrafts. Plans to expand the airport are in the pipeline.
