Safety

In our opinion, most reserves and parks can be visited safely in Uganda, including Lake Mburo National Park. This is especially so on a guided tour. For current information about safety in Uganda, check the government travel advisories (see the ‘Governments’ Travel Advice for 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 to apply mosquito repellent (those containing DEET are most effective) in the evening when the risk of being bitten is greatest.

Wildlife Viewing
