Travel Guide Uvira

Situated on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Uvira is located at the foot of a mountain range that allows you to enjoy the crystal clear water of the lake and the greenery on high. At times, Lake Tanganyika gets restless and this causes flooding.Uvira is a hub for exports through the port of Dar-es-Salam by boat across Lake Tanganyika to the port of Kigoma in Tanzania. The city borders Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi. It is accessible by plane from Goma and Bukavu and has hotels of international standing. These routes are also possible by boat but a bit laborious. Kiswahili is the language of communication.
