Lake George is small and shallow and located in the western part of East Africa’s Rift Valley. Several inflows from the extensive mountain Rwenzori ranges such as Dura, Mpanga, Nsonge, Rumi, and Mubuku supply Lake George with its water. Its outflow is into the Kazinga Channel that drains toward the adjacent Lake Edward. At 914m altitudes, the lake experiences two rainy seasons having the rainfall peaks within May and October. The islands on this lake are Kankuranga, Iranqara, and Akika. The shores are dominated by papyrus reeds and swamps where you can catch a glimpse of the sitatunga antelope, rare Shoebill, and other birds.
