From the open atmosphere of dense papyrus swamp to the vastness of lake Mutanda., its little wonder that the island boasts one of the highest biodiversity rating of about 400 bird species that makes this a superb safari territory, while gorillas and Golden monkey are always tracked in the near by Mgahinga and Bwindi national parks... which also boasts a marvelous waterfront setting in shadows of Virunga mountain chain.
