Lake Nkugute found in Rubirizi district of Kitara Region is shaped more like an African map, in fact most people prefer calling it Lake Africa.

Lake Nkugute is a crater lake and it’s estimated terrain elevation above seal level is 4645 feet. It’s believed to have been formed after volcanic activity left a crater in the ground, which slowly filled with rainwater over thousands of years.

The Nkugute crater lake whose name apparently means swallow, has been a blessing and curse to the nearby locals who have been coming up with some strange tales about the water body. This lake can be visited enroute Queen Elizabeth National Park via the Mbarara Kasese road.
