Nice view, condusive environment. The only man-made lake in Uganda

This could, and should have been a prime tourist attraction of Kampala. If only they had developed it into one. The lake itself is pretty. The surroundings are not. A nicely paved pedestrian trail around the lake, some restaurants and some boats for hire could have turned the Kabaka's Lake into a hotspot and an iconic feature of Kampala. Sadly, there is little more than muddy dirt roads, decrepit old buildings and abandoned ramshackle vehicles there today. Also, cleaning up the shores of the lake wouldn't hurt..

It's man-made lake constructed centuries ago. It has quite a number of bird species to watch

I called it dream lake when it's raining and the place will look like heaven I love this place it's my favorite place so far when am talking about kampala don't forget to visit kabaka lake I will add some pictures about this place wish you have good and safe journey

If only they could develop the area around the lake cuz the lake is beautiful but the areas around it aren't

I love this lake because it's the largest man made lake in Uganda. It was constructed on the orders of King Mwanga of Buganda and this makes it a historical place to the people of Buganda. It's one of the tourist attractions in Uganda that need to be renovated but this doesn't stop me from giving the place five stars.

Good live scene view, with cool breeze during hot days, brushed with a few artificial and natural trees, cattle egrets birding at the northend of the lake

A beautiful art piece of man, soothing interaction with nature (bird watching) and ambience an inch away from your feet.

Very nice

Not good for swimming, too muddy. A lot of little egrets here, saw the yellow billed stock too and weaver birds more water birds can be seen. You can talked a walk around the lake and seating by the lake you pay 500 Uganda shillings as money for keeping the place clean. There is a canoe you pay less than a dollar to ride you around.

Cool

This place is good, but the lake needs some more conservation, as on our visit, we found a lot of plastics and bottles, yet there is fish, a lot of birds and many others. This doesn't favors the wildlife here and people living around may end up facing diseases.

The King's Lake His Majesty

Nice place but the lake water is dirty with sewage. The community needs to be trained to keep the lake clean and it will be a million solar spot for people in Kampala needing a place to relax.

It has good view for photoshoots.

Nice inner-city lake to see birds. No amenities

very great

Cool air

Interesting to discover how Kabaka wanted to connect his lake to Lake Victoria...

It's an amazing sight

Easy to access, cool lake breeze and nice grass to sit on...

Visitors are welcomed

So beautiful lake, very nice looking!

I was visited there several times 6 years ago

Given the fact the this lake was dug using hands is a beautiful story in it self.... given the right development it has the potential of becoming a tourist center in the region...I liked it

Its such a wonderful and fascinating place.

Good place for taking photos as remembrance

Best n largest creater lake I hv ever seen

Good breeze and sceneries. The best man made lake in Africa

Free access to the lake but needs to be cleaned up since the water looks so dirty

Cool place to relax from, though kibulamu

Has cool and fresh air

It's good for the environment around the area, I'm in live with the view of the lake

Natural Water body

It is dirty and just small lake for free. Not reasonable reataurants and cafe nearby. You just pass there there! But as far as i hear, it has story about buganda kingdom.

I really like this

It's a very beautiful place full of history

Quite cool place for relaxing

Great man made feature but needs to be developed

It's so great and l just say awangale ayi Ssaba Ssajja kabaka.!!

I have lived in this area for 20yrs now and I have seen this area developing and I have seen pipo die in that lake

I go there to watch the birds and the sky

Love the scenery

Windy and refreshing

Cool place

(Translated by Google) okay. the story behind it is interesting, the lake itself is small and unspectacular. (Original) in Ordnung. die Geschichte dahinter ist interessant, der See an sich klein und unspektakulär.

Suitable place for boat rides and kayaking. However, the water is murky due to wastage discharges from adjacent motor garages and car washes

But boring

Biggest man made lake in East Africa Dug in 1885

Bird watching

Ok

Man made lake in Kampala Mengo

Attractive man made lake

Historical site Good to visit

This lake is a man made lake that was Dag by Kabaka (KING) Muteesa 👑 of Buganda. It's has a variety of bird spices. Good for resting.

I like KFC

It's such a nice place with good scenery and alot of cultural history about it

Small good lake

It's a good recreation area for some relaxation in the heart of Kampala in ndeeba
