The Marvel Cinematic Universe release ‘Black Panther did not
only get all the applause and smashing box office records but also
celebrates Uganda in a unique way. The Kingdom of Wakanda was
captured from Lake Bunyonyi in Uganda. Bunyonyi which locally
translates to place of ‘many little birds’. The lake is undoubtedly the
loveliest and deepest in Uganda.
Its contorted shore encircles 29
islands, surrounded by steep terraced hillsides. A magical place,
especially with a morning mist rising off the placid waters, and
has a selection of gorgeously remote and bucolic places to stay on
distant islands, where you’ve only the birds for company.
Best of all
– unlike many lakes in East Africa – Bunyonyi is bilharzia, croc and
hippo free, and so its crystal-clear waters are all yours to swim in
