Lake Kyema, or Lake Chema, is a Ugandan crater lake in Rubirizi District, Western Uganda. The lake has a nearby twin, called Lake Kamweru, whose waters are green compared to Lake Kyema, whose waters are much clearer.[1][2][3] It is a protected area that is managed by Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities and Uganda Wildlife Authority.[4][5] It is one of the over 50 crater lakes in the Rwenzori Mountain ranges.[6]
