Lake Nabugabo

A calm freshwater lake situated in the Masaka District of Uganda, Lake Nabugabo is a 22 000 hectare waterway separated from Lake Victoria by a lush sandbar. This tranquil retreat features almost 300 plant species, including carnivorous plants and a bevvy of birdlife such as the broad-billed roller, Ross’s turaco, kingfisher, the crested crane, and migratory species that flock to the area. Other notable wildlife include hippos, sitatunga, vervet monkeys, monitor lizards, and squirrels. Due to its ecological, biological, and zoological significance, the lake has been named a Ramsar Convention site. It is a prime destination for bird watching, nature walks, botany, fishing, boating, swimming at the quiet beach, and enjoying the beautiful lakeside scenery.
