Crater Lakes in Kibale National Park

Volcanic activity caused the volcanoes to erupt quickly, creating or developing craters, which resulted in the park’s crater lakes. When raindrops form inside craters, the craters are referred to as crater lakes.

Kibale is home to several crater lakes, including as Lake Nyabikere, Lake Kifuruka, Lake Nkuruba, and others, all of which are located in one location and provide breathtaking scenery.
