Camp073 - Lake Bunyoni National Park - the lake of the little birds!
Lake Bunyonyi is a Bird Watcher's and Nature Lover’s Delight. This “Lake of the Little birds”(Lake Bunyonyi) is located in the hills above Kabale in the South Western corner of Uganda, aptly named “The Switzerland of Africa”. Situated at approximately 6,500 feet ASL, Lake Bunyoni is the deepest Crater Lake in the country, and one of the few bilharzia free lakes in Uganda.
Although the surrounding hills are heavily cultivated, a combination of forest groves, gardens, farm fields, open water and extensive marshes attract a wide variety of bird life(over 200 species). The resident spot necked otters are readily seen fishing from the lake shores.
Commonly sighted birds include the White tailed Blue Monard, African Harrier Hawk, Levillant cuckoo, Cardinal Woodpecker, Rufous-breasted wryneck. Weavers nesting on the Island include large golden, slender-billed, baglafetch, yellow-backed and spectacled weavers.
