Lake Mburo National Park

Great stopover

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.

Because it's quite interesting.

Zebras, Giraffes, Impala, Mongoose, Monkeys, Baboons, Warthogs, Eland, Hippos and more. Lots and lots of different birds!

Lake Mburo, closest park to see wildlife near Kampala the Capital of Uganda

Lake Mburo is a wonderful and exiting escape from busy Kampala where one can camp (budget or upscale) or overnight at the park Head Quarters. Ranger Moses is waiting for you to take you on either a foot safari, a drive safari or a boat ride on the lake itself. This park has a selection of game to view ranging from zebra and impale to eland and buffalo. Leopards are also sen there. There is no lion but hyena's can be heard. Topi can also be seen there. For birds there is an abundance in the bush and near the lake. Fish eagles, kingfishers, red bishops are among them and if one is lucky a shoebill stork can be spotted near the hippo's or the sitatunga. Relaxing ate the lake is basic and so is the food at the restaurant there. A sundown with a beer in hand takes for a great evening start before going to sleep among the animals.
