Lake Kyoga

Lake Kyoga is a shallow, branching expanse of water in the heart of Uganda. The Victoria Nile enters from the south and passes through the lake on its way west to Lake Albert. Papyrus and other aquatic plants fringe its shores, while wetlands and narrow channels merge with the open water. Its irregular arms reach into the surrounding low country, making the lake both a fishing ground and a distinctive part of the upper Nile's course.
