Details of Lake Edward

The smallest of Africa’s Great Lakes, Lake Edward and nearby Lake George are most famous for their role in the popular Kazinga Channel - where thousands take pleasure cruises within Queen Elizabeth National Park each year.

A number of lodges boast stunning views of this lake, and the entirety of it lies within either Queen Elizabeth National Park or Virunga National Park in neighbouring DPR Congo.
