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