Burigi-Chato National Park
Unique flora
Zanthoxylum usambarense, Gardenia ternifolia, Faidherbia albida, Harrisonia abyssinica, Anona senegalensis, and Pappea capensis are six other rare plant species found at the Burigi-Chato National Park that have the potential to be used in the pharmaceutical industry.
Attractions
The lakes in this national park are a major attraction, with Lake Burigi being the third-largest lake in the nation. It is a long lake with several islands, inlets, and bays scattered throughout its length, some of which are swampy and home to the uncommon sitatunga antelope and perhaps even the even more elusive shoebill stork. Every lake is situated along a winding valley that is covered in trees and sporadic palms. They offer peaceful surroundings, lovely options for boating and observing wildlife from the lake, as well as locations for camping and modest cabins.

Along with the rangeland area to the north of the Katungo River and the Lake Mburo National Park of Uganda, Burigi-Chato National Park includes the other ecosystems of Rwanda like the Akagera National Park. Camping and canoeing is available.
