The formation of crater lakes in Queen Elizabeth National Park
The crater lakes in Queen Elizabeth National Park are the product of volcanic activity, and they developed around 8000 years ago. Volcanic activity resulted in the construction of crater lakes and domed volcanic structures as a consequence of molten lava moving from deep inside the ground due to pressure and then blowing the surface of extinct volcanoes. Rather of building a volcanic cone, the magma shoots further away from the vent, generating a large bowl surrounded by a rough, rock trash, and magma domain.
The crater lakes provide many safaris and activities that can be done around the crater lakes, and the safari activities that can be done surrounding the crater lakes may be quite exciting.
The Bunyarugu safari crater lakes, located south of Lake George, have both saline and freshwater levels. These lakes are located in Uganda’s western region, on the western boundary of the Queen Elizabeth National Park. Bunyaruguru has about 20 locations, with the bulk of crater lakes lying in the Kichwaba escarpments, which share a boundary with Queen Elizabeth National Park. The crater lakes are covered in lush flora, and Lake Nkugute, which is gorgeous and fills the whole crater, is located in Bunyaruguru. The lake can be seen from that side of the Mbarara-Kasese high road.
