The story goes that when the Europeans first reached the lake, which had its own traditional name in the local language, they pointed and asked, "What do you call that?" Their native guides must have been amused or puzzled at this sudden curiousity. "Bunyonyi," they replied, "birds." Ever since, this beautiful lake where we took our annual MCC retreat has been known, at least to outsiders, as Lake Bunyonyi: Lake of the Birds.
