Lake Mburo NP is open year-round, but the Dry seasons from June to August and December to February are the best time for general wildlife viewing as animals gather around the lake and other water sources. Wildife viewing is still ok in the Wet seasons from March to May and from September to November and at this time the park lush and scenic.
