Crater Lakes

Queen Elizabeth National Park contains a series of volcanic  explosion craters, many of which have become crater lakes.
Bunyampaka is now used by local people for salt pans; the lakeshore is divided into plots that are flooded with water, which leaches salt from the soil as it evaporates.  The salt is then scraped off the surface and sold.

This is Nyamanuka lake. Water buffalo were grazing at the water's edge

Here is Kikorongo lake, where Queen Elizabeth's 1954 visit gave the National Park its name.  The Duke of Edinburgh returned here in 2009 to open a new visitor center.

We passed several more of the beautiful Ndali-Kasekende crater lakes as we drove out of the park through Kasese and past the Rwenzori mountains to Kibale National Park.
