Lake Mburo National Park


The park covers 260 sq.kms and lies along Mbarara road within easy access of Kampala. It is an attractive park of rolling hills and open grass valleys, interspersed with thickets, woodlands and rich wetlands.
Enjoy this very un-visited park that affords the visitor sights of the impala (only found here in Uganda), waterbuck, cape buffalo, topi, zebra,


eland and leopard. Hippos are very vocal and feed in the open during the daylight hours. Along with a game drive many visitors enjoy a boat ride on the lake. Self-guided nature trails are available. For bird watchers there more than 250 species of birds in this park including papyrus gonolek, brown faced lapwing, the Carruther’s cist cola plus many more.

DAY 1. An early start for Lake Mburo National Park, make brief stopovers on the way. Situated in the center of the Uganda’s cattle raising country, the park offers the unlikely view of wild animals grazing side by side with long-horned domestic cattle. Make a stop over at Mpabire to watch briefly drum makers using methods that have been passed on for generations. Next will be at the equator for photographs. We enter the park through the Nshara gate. Afternoon boat trip on Lake Mburo. Overnight: Lake Mburo Tented Camp.

DAY 2. Proceed for a game drive or safari walk under the escort of a ranger after your breakfast. The park is a cattle-grazing area and it is amusing to see zebra and the long horned Ankole cattle grazing along side peaceably. Overnight: Lake Mburo Tented Camp. Drive back to Kampala after lunch.
