Balamaga Bed and Breakfast
Your best choice for a relaxed and comfortable stay in Bukoba and enjoy its garden, Lake view, bird’s paradise at the gateway to Mwanza, Arusha, Rwanda and Uganda.




About Us
Our Bed & Breakfast is located in a quiet area just outside Bukoba town – the capital of Kagera region – with one of the most beautiful gardens in North-West Tanzania overlooking Lake Victoria.
We established our Bed & Breakfast 10 years back as a special, small, cosy and family-like guesthouse in the natural settings of Bukoba. The house was built by local craftsmen mainly using local materials. We gave special attention to the garden, which has a wealth of (sub)tropical trees and local plants providing a habitat to numerous birds, and a perfect place to relax.
Our guests enjoy staying with us, thrilled by the setting, views, hospitality, accommodation and services.
