The 82 beautiful crater lakes within seven sub-counties. One of them lake Rutoto which is shaped like Africa. Also the spectacular twin lakes Katinda and Murambi, separated by a few meters. Others are the blue lake Kyemo and the transparent lakes Kamiranjojo and Kamuzuku.

The sudden cool air travellers along the Mbarara-Kasese highway feel when they enter the Bunyaruguru highlands also qualified as the second wonder

Bunyaruguru is located in an area that experienced volcanicity in the past leaving the soils so fertile that the area never runs short of food, in fact this part of western Uganda is referred to as the “Granary of Bushenyi”

The escarpment shows a breathtaking sudden fall from highlands into the rift valley hence displaying magnificent scenery.
