Lake Bunyonyi

Rent A car at Lake Bunyonyi

Often called the “Place of Many Little Birds,” Lake Bunyonyi is one of Uganda’s most enchanting destinations, famed for its 29 emerald islands scattered across its deep, shimmering waters. Located in the southwestern highlands near Kabale, this bilharzia-free lake is framed by steeply terraced hills that offer some of the most iconic views in Africa. Travelers visit Bunyonyi to unwind after gorilla trekking in Bwindi, enjoy serene dugout canoe rides, go island-hopping to sites like the historic Punishment Island, or experience the vibrant culture of the local Batwa and Bakiga communities. With its cool, misty mornings and a wealth of activities like zip-lining and birdwatching, it remains a tranquil sanctuary for those seeking a slower pace of life.


To fully explore the scenic viewpoints and hidden lakeside resorts surrounding this majestic lake, renting a car at Lake Bunyonyi through Pearl Drive Car Rental is highly recommended. Given the steep and sometimes winding terrain of the Kigezi highlands, Pearl Drive offers a robust fleet of 4×4 vehicles—such as the Toyota RAV4 and Land Cruiser—that are perfectly suited for the journey from Kampala or the nearby town of Kabale. Whether you are looking for a self-drive adventure to navigate the hilly roads at your own leisure or prefer a professional chauffeur who knows the best photo spots, Pearl Drive ensures your transport is safe and reliable.
