Lake Bunyonyi Canoe & Island Visit

Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda

Include in my safari All activities

About this experience

Lake Bunyonyi is a long, island-dotted lake surrounded by terraced hills in south-western Uganda. Paddling a dugout canoe or taking a motorboat between the islands reveals quiet villages, birdlife and far-reaching views.

Some trips visit Punishment Island, with its sobering history, or local communities on the shore. It is a peaceful place to rest between gorilla treks.

  • Dugout canoe paddling
