One of Uganda's Most Underrated Parks

If you like zebras this park is for you. There are herds of them here along with warthogs and baboons. The lake is picturesque and it's possible to have a cup of tea near the shore. I like Lake Mburo because tourists often overlook it on their way to the bigger name parks to the North and West. The place is not very crowded and this gives the park an intimate feel. It is also relatively close to Kampala.

We didn't see a great deal of wildlife in the Lake Mburo park, but we did a fun boat trip and there was a LOT of birdlife.

I recommend Lake Mburo, mostly for its charm and that genuine bush feel. Most of the time we felt alone in the park.

less animals, no lions, no hyaenas. But excellent safari - vibe, if you make a guided march.

Lake Mburo has what most other parks in Uganda lack: Zebras. You can walk and hike but hundreds of zebras it is pretty incredible.

A beautiful stop to relax and do some game viewing and birding

Lake Mburo makes a perfect stop on the way to Entebbe when your'e coming from Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. It's beautiful national park which offers excellent opportunities for bird watching. The wildlife may be described as "light" but it's improving thanks to the relocation of 19 Rothschild's giraffes.
