Water flows from Lake Burera to Lake Ruhondo. Lake Ruhondo and Lake Burera have a combined area surface of 2800 hectares. They are also examples of the lava-dammed lakes in east Africa related to the story of their formation, the lake waters look green due to the green vegetation that encloses these water bodies which makes them more magical.
