Nestled at the foothills of the volcanic mountains Muhabura, Gahinga, and Sabyinyo, Lake Mutanda boasts untouched ecosystems with lush papyrus vegetation, home to various bird species. The lake features over 13 significant islands with pristine ecosystems, offering breathtaking scenery and unique wildlife like the African clawless otter and python snakes. Bird watchers will be thrilled to spot water birds and add to their birdlife list.

The lake is drained by the Rutshuru River, which flows northwards to Lake Edward. With a surface area of 11 square miles, a maximum depth of 56 meters, and an elevation of 1,792 meters, Lake Mutanda is a natural wonder. Visitors can also explore the lake's peninsula island to experience the authentic local culture.

The boat trips to the lake islands using local dug-out canoes sound like a fantastic way to immerse oneself in the heritage stories of each island, guided by knowledgeable native eco-tour guides. For those with limited time, engine boats are available to cover the islands with ease.
