Lake Mburo National Park offers decent year-round wildlife viewing. However, the Dry seasons (January to February and June to August) are best, as animals gather around the lakes and other permanent water sources. Wildlife viewing is still OK in the Wet seasons (March to May and September to December), and at this time the park is lush and scenic. Regardless of season, avoid visiting close to full moon if you hope to see a leopard on a night drive.
