On the shores of the lake, Bunyonyi Overland Resort is offering you a base to explore the lake or a wonderful stop-over on your way to visit the Mountain Gorillas in the national parks of Rwanda or Uganda in South Western Uganda.

Bunyonyi Overland Resort is ecologically built, with local materials. It is locally owned and provides important employment opportunities for the people around the lake.

Lake Bunyonyi has no bilharzia, no crocodiles, no hippos, and due to its altitude malaria is rather scarce – you could hardly find a friendlier body of water on our continent.

The name Bunyonyi means “the place of little birds”, and it definitely deserves such a name!
