Lake Bunyonyi

William then arrived with our trusted 4 by 4 and we were off. Our next stop and place to stay for the night was about 3hrs drive south to Lake Bunyonyi which means Small bird. We started to climb up a mountain winding our way to the top. Once there we went along the ridge and then it hit us.......

Lake Bunyonyi the deepest lake in Africa 900 meters. Peppered with little islands 29 of them, William announced we would be staying on one of them for the night. Nkosie face was a picture. How we going to get there he said. By boat, was the answer. I'm not to sure it he looked happy nervous or just scared. We drove down the opposite mountain side and the appeared next to a little motorised boat. In we all popped luggage and all and then off we went. Nkosie nervous so changed to now if happiness.
The little canoe cut though the water like butter. We arrive on the island to be met by a young man with a warm flannel on a wooden tray.
We were then loaded on a gold buggy and off we went to the top of the island. Arriving there we were take trough to a veranda which over looked the other island. It was soooo beautiful.
After settling in William asks us if we would like to hirer a canoe 🛶 and canoe around the island. With that decision made William jumps into the rear of the canoe I jump in the middle and then Nkosie jumps in the front. But with in seconds he jumps out and says no no no..!
It's not safe. Me and William took it out to show Nkosie all was good. We then returned and a very reluctant Nkosie got back in at the front, then then real fun started. To many chiefs and not enough Indians sprang to mind. With William trying to instruct Nkosie and Nkosie stuggerling to understand we spent about 20mins going around in circles.
They finally sorted it and we slowly but surly made away around the beautiful island of jahukwe.
The lake was so calm the perfect way to end a day.Read more
