Discover the Serenity of Nyungu Crater Lake

Getting There

• Car

  From the main entrance of Queen Elizabeth National Park, head towards the southern part of the park. Follow the signs directing you towards the Kasese Road (also known as the Mbarara-Kasese Road). Drive approximately 35 kilometers until you reach the junction at Kikorongo. At this junction, turn left onto the road leading to the Nyungu Crater Lake. Continue on this road for about 12 kilometers, passing through scenic landscapes. As you approach the lake, look for signage indicating the entrance to Nyungu Crater Lake. There may be a small fee for entry, so be prepared with cash.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, you can take a taxi or a matatu (shared taxi) from the main town of Kasese to Kikorongo. Once you arrive at Kikorongo, you will need to hire a boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) to take you the remaining 12 kilometers to Nyungu Crater Lake. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand. There may also be a small entrance fee to access the lake, so carry some cash with you.

• Boda-Boda

  For those already in the surrounding towns or areas near Queen Elizabeth National Park, you can hire a boda-boda to take you directly to Nyungu Crater Lake. Be sure to confirm the price beforehand and negotiate if necessary. The ride can take about 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic and road conditions. The boda-boda driver should be familiar with the route, but you can also use a map application to ensure you are headed in the right direction.
