KHO is committed to preserving, showcasing and sharing the heritage of Kagera.

The region’s culture, customs, artefacts, landmarks, and ancestral wisdom will be celebrated at every opportunity.

Temba Hill is a place where local communities and families will gather, and where schoolchildren can visit to share their stories, past and present.

We currently house a select number of local artefacts in a temporary building on the Kiroyera Temba Heritage Site hill in Bukoba.

All visitors are welcome.

We are planning to build a new museum for the Kagera region to house all of our precious artefacts and mementoes. Our aim is for the building to become a vibrant cultural centre where local residents, schoolchildren, and visitors to our region can learn about our region’s heritage.

A sample of items and stories telling the history of Kagera is currently displayed in our online collection.

A dedicated online museum site will be launched by the end of 2026, providing an extended archive to our Diaspora community, scholars and students of African culture worldwide.

Heritage tours are operated to inspire, educate and appreciate the beauty of the Kagera region.

We work with schools and local tour operators in educating our children about their heritage.

We also support local tourism operators in attracting national and international visitors to Kagera, helping generate income for people and places across the region who are protecting the culture and heritage of our homeland.
