Gungu people
The Gungu or (Bagungu) are a Bantu ethnic group native to Uganda. They live on the northeastern shores of Lake Albert along the Rift Valley. They speak a distinct dialect of the Runyoro language called Lugungu. They are traditionally fishermen, Pastoralists and subsistence farmers. Historically, this is because their cradle land Buliisa district, has ecosystems that can allow them to practice all these three economic activities.
