Although a preferred destination for
those seeking tourist attractions in Western Uganda, Kabale is a place to stay and explore
from rather than offering tourist attractions in its own right. (Oh, and when you
stay be prepared for some chilly nights and frequent (heavy) rainfalls given its height.) One of the most popular attractions is
undoubtedly Lake Bunyonyi, a lake created millions of years ago when lava blocked the River Kabaga
creating twenty nine island some of which are settled. It is also
home to the infamous Punishment Island where unmarried pregnant
girls were marooned and left to die. Gorilla trekking is also
available although expensive.
