Nzulesu is a village built entirely on 
stilts on Lake Amansuri. It is constructed 
out of wood and raffia with one central 
walkway and about two dozen houses 
on either side. Presently the village has 
a population between 500 and 600 
people. Why these people chose to 
built their village in this way is not 
known as they are not primarily 
fishermen but farmers.

The only way to get there is to 
travel 5km on the lake in a local 
dugout canoe. It takes you through 
areas of marsh and open pools fringed 
with palm thickets and opens out into 
the fast expanse of the lake. The trip 
on the water is very rewarding as 
one sees many different birds emerging 
from the reeds or sitting on the low 
hanging branches of the surrounding 
jungle.
