“Me and a friend we had a Tour with William for two days. First we experienced a fishing trip with local fishermen and we visited the Island! The next day William showed us the City and many plantations like banana, Coffee, tea, a nice waterfall and even vanilla. In the end of the two days he served us the best fish and drinks at his pub with lake view. Amazing.”

“Willy was brilliantly helpful when I was staying in Bukoba. I spent a day enjoying both local community activities and initiatives and visiting Musila island… He really helped me a lot when my PCR results did not come through… Willy helped sort out taking me to the border and arranging testing there.”
