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

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

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.

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.

Great stopover
Overall rating
3/5

I asumed it was going to be a mediocre experience with just a good location but it ended up having a nice variety of animals: zebras, giraffes, impalas, topis, waterbucks, warthogs, monkeys and ankoles. Not the usual big 5 but very enjoyable nonetheless. Convinced my guide to drive by since I had some hours to spare on my way to the airport and it was delightful. Great stopover to complement what I had already seen.

Some sceneries were amazing while other sections of the park were too bushy, but they seem to be "taking care" of that since there were big chunks of the side-road having been burned down, or something like the sort. Roads were bad.

Lake Mburo wasn't as beautiful as other parts of Uganda but we had just come from "the Lakes" area of the country so we had a rather skewed view. Lake Mburo has a lot of zebras and antelope, which were fun to see. It's a good stopover between Bwindi and Kampala, but probably not someplace I would go out of my way to see.
