Why gorilla trekking in the Bwindi forest from Lake Bunyonyi?

among the reasons why you should add Lake Bunyonyi to your gorilla trekking safari is that this lake has a very rich history, canoe trekking is one of the most tourist’s popular activity which is also the best way to explore several islands of lake Bunyonyi using a canoe, each island on lake Bunyonyi has its own history and a specific story about it.

Canoeing on Lake Bunyonyi takes about 2 hours boat ride to a few of the islands, among this is the punishment Island where local people believed that women who could get pregnant or produce children before marriage or outside the official marriage culturally would be dumped to that punishment island, girls and women would be dumped and left to starve to death but sometimes some girls would be rescued by fishermen and end up marrying them.

Using a canoe to explore lake Bunyonyi gives tourists a good introduction to the history of the Bakiga community living around this beautiful lake.
