Lake Bunyonyi Attractions

Lake Bunyonyi in south-western Uganda is a favourite for tourists to visit whilst in the area and many travel from far and wide as it really is a place of great beauty and boasts some well presented places to stay from hotels (or resorts as they are known locally) to camping sites and similar facilities.

There are also some great places to eat that serve western food, although local food can be purchased much cheaper within the small Lake Bunyonyi community which also offers some volunteering opportunities. On this page we share some of the main tourist attractions which inevitably focus on the islands within Lake Bunyonyi itself.
