Lake Bunyonyi is named after bird exsistence. It simply means a place of many little birds. It is located in southwestern Uganda, kabala district-Uganda and 11kms from Nyabushabi village where our Home stay is. Lake Bunyonyi is a highland lake estimated to lie at an altitude of about 1950m above sea level.
It is described by its beauty surrounded by hills, intense cultivated and many agriculture activities and its unique concentration of 29 islands each with its historical attachments.
It is the third deepest lake in the world but with fresh and safe water for swimming. It is a lava damed lake as a result of Muhabura/virunga Volcanicity eruptions that took place centuries ago ‘ about 10,000 years’
For a better lasting and memorable experience, do not accept to be driven in a car to the lake, because you will miss great views, scenery, agriculture activities and African skills as you take simple community walk/Hike that will introduce to black smith, tea plantations, Rushoroza Catholic Cathedral and a panoramic view of the great kabale city.
