Trip overview
Book this 2 day safari trip to Lake Mburo National Park and experience one of Uganda’s most beautiful savannas. Lake Mburo National Park is situated about 3 – 4 hours drive from Kampala making it the nearest park to the capital city of Uganda. It is the smallest among the savannah parks in Uganda however it harbors an incredible diversity of animals and birds, has beautiful scenery, and its small size means you can reach the different parts of the park easily and discover a lot of what it can offer in a short time.
The park is great for grazing animals and the common animals to be seen on the 2-day safari in Lake Mburo National Park include; zebras, impala, giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, bushbucks, eland, and topi among others. There is only 1 lion in the park which is never seen (sometimes heard), however other predators like leopards and hyenas are abundant however you stand a better chance of sighting these if you do a night safari.
The biggest lake in the park, Lake Mburo, is home to crocodiles and hippos and several water birds which are sighted from the boat cruise.
