Kyahugye Island

Kyahugye Island is one of Lake Bunyonyi's most popular islands since it's only a few minutes by boat from the mainland, which can be organized through the lake's resorts or simply turned up on the shore. Its fame stems from the fact that it is the only island in Lake Bunyonyi with animals. Impalas, antelopes, waterbucks, zebras, and a variety of other wild creatures may be found on this island. You may visit this island for game viewing when visiting Lake Bunyonyi. Because game watching on this island is normally guided, you should ask your tour operator about the specifics of a game viewing excursion on this island.

The island is certainly worth a visit today. While well-kept, it has retained its original integrity, with overgrown walkways and other features that add to the sense of adventure while chasing down the friendly creatures you may get up close to. Naturally, this all comes at a cost, so you must walk through the Eco Resort upon arrival and pay a little admission charge, but you will be supplied with a guide who will guarantee you see the animals, so it is a worthwhile investment! We recommend spending an hour or two on the island, more if you plan on dining, and the boat ride there and back will cost roughly £25 regardless of the number of people in your group, so a visit to Kyahugye Island is a nice half-day activity.
