These are beautiful lakes located at the base of volcano Muhabura and close to the border with Uganda.
They are surrounded by steep hills and large waterfalls with a backdrop of the Virunga volcanic mountains. These twin lakes are great spots to be visited after watching the gorillas in the Rwandan mountains.
Lakes Bulera and Ruhondo are close to the gorilla trekking centre of Ruhengeri and used to be referred to as neglected gems but things have changed and Bulera and Ruhondo are popular with tourists.
