Bugara

Bugara lies in the northern Karagwe highlands near the Kagera River. Traditions of the kingdom place it on the journey of Ruhinda, the founder associated with the Bahinda dynasty. One account tells how he crossed the Kagera from the north with followers and cattle, settling first at Bugara before moving through the highlands to Bwehange. Stories of Ruhinda differ between kingdoms, but Bugara remained one of the places closely associated with his memory.
