Kabaka's Lake

Kabaka's Lake is a man-made lake located in Kampala. It is one of the prominent landmarks in the city and holds great historical and cultural significance. It is the largest man-made lake in Uganda.

This lake was created during the late 19th century on the orders of Kabaka (King) Mwanga II of Buganda. The construction of the lake was a result of a power struggle between Mwanga and his Christian subjects. The lake was dug to serve as a water source and a defensive barrier for the king's palace.
