A physical map of Uganda. The border with Tanzania is located to the south. The Tanzania–Uganda border is a continuous international boundary 396 km long, separating Tanzania to the south and Uganda to the north in East Africa. Most of this border runs through Lake Victoria, extending from east to west.

Description

Informal cross-border trade on the Kagera River near Kajaho. The border begins at a tripoint with the Rwanda–Tanzania and Rwanda–Uganda borders at the confluence of the Muvumba and Kagera river. For its first 60 km, it follows the course of the Kagera River, heading east and then northeast, before leaving the river. The next 340 km follow a straight line oriented from west to east, fixed along the 1st parallel south. Most of this straight border lies within Lake Victoria. It ends at a tripoint with the Kenya–Uganda and Kenya–Tanzania borders on the lake, about twelve kilometers from its eastern shore.

The town of Mutukula is one of the main road crossing points along the border.
