SSESE ISLANDS TOUR UGANDA

The Ssese group of islands lies in the western section of Lake Victoria, in Kalangala district. There are 84 small islands in total and the islands vary in size from less than10,000sq km to over 40km in length. The largest island is Bugala.
The Sesse islands came into existence 12,000 years ago when a tectonic shift caused an elevated basin situated between the two main arms of the Great Rift Valley to flood, forming Lake Victoria.
