Lake Mutanda

The volcanic mountains that ring this deep green lake are home to rare mountain gorillas.

Reviewed By davidnartan - Sint-Truiden, Belgium

Having seen the lake from far off while birdwatching in nearby Mgahinga N.P I was interested in the place as a birding spot. Unfortunately I could only manage a short drive by visit , a bit late in the day for the best birdwatching. However, the moment I stepped out of the car at the waterside eco-resort two Otters popped their heads out of the water right in front of the terrace/pier. An African Marsh Harrier flew over and various Kingfishers and reed/papyrus inhabiting warblers and weaver birds abounded. Lovely spot and probably worth staying the night to catch the late evening/early morning activity, perhaps a boat ride would be fun too. Would love to visit again.

Victoria Nile

Reviewed By TreggyGodwin

The mighty Lake Victoria was thought for a long time to be the source of the Nile. It is in a sense. Waters from the large lake leave by the Victoria Nile to head north to join the Albert Nile in northern Uganda. When the water leaves the massive Lake Victoria, it does so in a spectacular fashion. The water pours out of the lake at the Ripon Falls, also known as Owen Falls Dam, in Uganda. It then goes by the Victoria Nile to Lake Kyoga before joining the Albert Nile. The lake itself is shared by three countries: Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. The headwaters for the streams that feed the lake, however, originate from the mountains of Rwanda and Burundi. its a spectacular breathtaking view.

Kazinga Channel

Reviewed By ernieLoomisCa

We had a small private boat arranged by our driver/guide for $32 p/p.(note this is the same price as other tours) Departed directly from our accommodation. The guide, Martin was a former park ranger with UWA. The company name was Kazinga Channel Beach, Beach Communtty Tourism project. I’m sure the lodge can hook you up if you decide to go with him. This two hour tour was full of excellent information by our well informed guide. Loved the ability to get close to the elephants and buffalo at bathing time, tons of hippos and assorted bird life. While we could give QENP a miss, the 2 hour boat ride was well worth it and the best reason to visit this park
