Lake Mburo National Park Tour (All-Day)

Meet and greet at your accommodation and drive off towards south western Uganda. As soon as we are out of Kampala, gradually the landscape will keep changing, seeing greener, low rolling hills, open grasslands and small townships. On a school day, we will not miss seeing kids walking to school.

Approximately after 2 hours’ drive, we shall have a stopover at the Uganda Equator, where we shall test the coriolis forces and a chance to get a to-go coffee and snacks from the Equator restaurant.

The Ankole cows (Long-horned cows)

We shall then drive off to Lake Mburo National Park, straight away doing a game drive to see animals to mention; Elands (the biggest antelope in East Africa and in Uganda only found in this park, zebras (these can only be seen in two national parks in Uganda; Lake Mburo and Kidepo in the North East) , the graceful impalas, topi, buffaloes, Water bucks, Bush bucks, Rothschild's Giraffes and plenty of birds, the park is a home to 350 bird species. The park is one of the smallest of the 10 national parks in Uganda but you will see that it’s a gem in a unique way!
