Bwama & Njuyeera (Sharp’s) Islands Lake Bunyonyi

Bwama & Njuyeera (Sharp’s) Islands Lake Bunyonyi

Many boat drivers will take you to these islands, where British missionary Dr Leonard Sharp founded a leper colony and settled in 1921, but the story is more interesting than the sights. The colony on Bwama was shut down in the 1980s (there are two schools on the island now) and nearly all Njuyeera's history was stripped when it was converted into a (not recommended) hotel.
