The real spectacle of the lake, however, is the incredible scenery. For its beauty alone, the lake is regarded by many visitors as one of their favorite destinations.
Because of its proximity to Bwindi Forest for gorilla trekking, which is the main reason visitors venture to this corner of Africa, the lake makes a fantastic add-on experience to enjoy breathtaking scenery,the main reason to visit Uganda from a nature perspective is to enjoy incredible mountain gorilla trekking tours.Bwindi impenetrable forest national park contains many other animals as well as the gorillas and protects around 90 species of mammals, including 10 different primates.
