Crater lakes

The Crater Lakes, particularly those in western Uganda near Fort Portal and Kibale National Park, offer a unique exploration experience. These lakes, formed by volcanic activity, provide scenic views, opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and water activities like canoeing and swimming. The Ndali-Kasenda area is a cluster of these crater lakes, offering a dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, including primates and numerous bird species.

One of the most scenic parts is the impressive crater area in the northwest region of the park. Formed by volcanic activity thousands of years ago, you can now explore a series of dramatic craters and dry calderas in the hilly landscape, offering stunning views of the park and its surroundings. The birdlife is spectacular, with large flocks of flamingos, but also buffaloes and other wild animals come to drink here.
