After an early breakfast, set out to visit Lake Katwe; Katwe salt lake is a crater lake situated inside Queen Elizabeth national park, an internationally important area of savannah that is home to a wide range of species. Several streams drain into the lake, but it has no outlet, so intense evaporation during the dry seasons leads to the water becoming extremely salty
The katwe salt lake tour gives our visitors a unique insight into the fascinating yet tough process of salt mining, as well as providing an alternative income for katwe local communities. Immediately after, embark on the journey back to Kampala, stopover in Masaka and have lunch and at the Equator to take photos. Arrive in Kampala in the evening.
