Lake Albert

Originally called Lake Mwitanzige and briefly Lake Mobutu Sese Seko, Lake Albert is a lake that may be found in both Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is the second-largest of Uganda's Great Lakes and the seventh-largest lake in all of Africa. Numerous aquatic and semi-aquatic creatures, like hippopotamuses, Uganda kob antelopes, Nile crocodiles, Nile monitors, etc., can be found in Lake Albert.

Due to the steep mountains surrounding it, Lake Albert is more difficult to access than other African Great Lakes and doesn't draw many tourists. However, those who succeed in arriving here will be rewarded with a stunning sight. The White Nile River receives a significant amount of water from Uganda's second largest lake, which is also Africa's seventh largest lake.

Compared to other African lakes, Lake Albert is rather shallow, measuring only 80 feet deep. Wildlife and forest reserves guard its shoreline. There is also Murchison Falls National Park on the Ugandan side. The Victoria Nile River rushes through this small, rocky opening before plunging dramatically into a pool. Chimpanzees, hippos, and elephants are among the local wildlife.
