Lake George, Uganda – Uganda Lake George Travel Guide

Lake George is located in the southwestern region of Uganda, approximately 40 kilometers northeast of the famous Lake Edward, and is connected through the Kazinga Channel. It is an important branch of the western Great Rift Valley in East Africa, with an altitude of 914 meters, a length of 29 kilometers, a width of 16 kilometers, a surface area of 250 square kilometers, and an average depth of 2.4 meters.

Like other lakes in the region, Lake George is named after a member of the British royal family, adopting the name of Prince George (later King George V of England). The lake experiences two peak rainfall seasons in May and October each year, reaching a maximum depth of 3 meters. With marshy areas along the shore dominated by papyrus, it attracts many migratory birds. The lake is rich in fish resources, providing nutritious fish products and income from the fishing industry for local residents, and serving as an important research base for fish studies. In recent years, with the continuous development of Uganda’s tourism industry, the tourism potential of Lake George has also been tapped, attracting an increasing number of domestic and foreign tourists with its beautiful scenery.
