LAKE MUTANDA

Breathtaking views of Volcanoes National Park

Lake Mutanda

Situated in Uganda, Lake Mutanda is a small freshwater lake sandwiched between the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in the Virunga Mountains.

Set against a misty mountain backdrop, the picturesque lake is dotted with islands, and the surrounding landscape is scattered with wetland ecosystems and lakeside forests stretching up the mountain slopes which provide a safe habitat for the endangered mountain gorilla. Visitors can look forward to gorilla tracking, bird watching, lake lounging, volcano hiking, and paddling in a traditional dugout canoe.

Best time to travel to Lake Mutanda

The lake can be visited all your round but the roads can be very muddy during the rainy season (November and March till April). The main reason for staying at Lake Mutanda is a gorilla trekking in the southern part of Bwindi. Bwindi can be visited all year long, but the best times are from June to August and December to February. At these times, the forest trails are drier and easier to walk on.
