Trips to the Lakes of Kibale Crater
With breathtaking views from the summit of the volcanic hills, safaris to the Kibale Crater Lakes are among the most fulfilling experiences you can have in Uganda. There are many craters and Crater Lake scattered throughout the large crater area. Children and the elderly can both enjoy the short walks that make up some of Kibale National Park’s crater hikes. The opportunity to learn about the local culture makes the community walks rewarding as well.
The Albertine Rift Valley contains the Kibale National Park area, and it is possible that millennia ago, there was a lot of volcanic activity that produced the stunning Kibale Crater Lakes. Kibale Crater Lakes tours have frequently been added to primate safaris at Kibale National Park. The crater lakes trips, however, can also be a stand-alone schedule.
In addition to visiting the three main craters and Mahoma Falls, the highlights of the crater region of Kibale National Park, the tours to Kibale Crater Lakes include exhilarating activities like hiking.

The area’s terrain slopes sharply over the hillsides. A breathtaking view of the local flora and fauna may be seen from the filthy track that winds through Kibale’s crater area. In Kabarole district, Mahoma Falls is close to the stunning Lake Mwamba. Alluvium makes the Crater Lake region extremely fertile, enabling farming there. The land is heavily farmed. However, various bird species and primates like monkeys live around the crater lakes’ margins.
Lake Nyabulitwa, Nyabikere, Lyantonde, Kasenda, Nkuruba, Kifuruka, and Nyinambuga are some of the lakes that are part of the Kibale Crater. Because Lake Kasenda is a well-known and significant lake in the area, the Crater Lake area is known as the “ndali Kasenda Crater Region.” Of all the crater lakes in the Kibale area, Lake Nkuruba Crater is the most breathtakingly gorgeous, making it the perfect place for photography. A lush, forested area that borders it is home to black and white monkeys, which occasionally go out to the lake.
