Lake Bunyonyi has been named one of the safest lakes in Africa. There are no crocs, hippos, or risk of bilharzia. Instead, the island is home to over 200 species of birds. Grab a notepad and binoculars and spend hours discovering everything from weaver birds to grey-crowned cranes. It’s the perfect place for bird enthusiasts. If you’re wanting to spend an afternoon on the water spotting marine life, you’ll be pleased to hear that African clawless otters and spotted-necked otters reside at the lake. There are also various frogs, fish, and shrimp.
In the surrounding islands, you can find monkeys and zebras.On top of wild and marine life, vegetation is plentiful and the lake bursts with papyrus, swamp sawgrass, and blue lotus.
