Safety

In our opinion, most reserves and parks can be visited safely in Uganda, and Lake Mburo National Park is no different. Especially so on a guided tour. To get current information about general safety in Uganda, you should check the government travel advisories (see the ‘Safety & Security – Uganda’ link below).

Malaria & Vaccinations

It is recommended that you have certain vaccinations before arriving in the country. You should also protect against malaria by taking antimalarial medication. And don’t forget mosquito repellent (those containing DEET are most effective) as you will need to apply it in the evening when the risk of being bitten is greatest.

Wildlife Viewing

Wildlife viewing in Lake Mburo NP is very safe as long as you follow the park’s rules and regulations and you listen to your guide’s advice. Also take note of the ‘Wildlife Viewing Safety Precautions' below.
