The friendliest place I have ever been
The wildlife in Lake Mburo National Park is slightly limited, with no signs of the big five (although there were talks of bringing back the giraffes, as conditions were thought to be very good for them now). Howeever, this did not limit the experience of thew safari. We knew from the beginning what animals we could expect to see, and they were out and about continuously. We came very close to the animals, and the were curious yet healthily cautios when we were present. It did not feel like they were too used to people, and we rarely met another group while on our game drive.
The scenery was beautiful, and so inspiring! Our breakfast at the lakeside cafè was of decent quality at best, but it was amazing to see all the animals, birds and to enjoy the lake view while having our breakfast. Our accomodation was parted; two people stayed at the spectacular and luxurious Mihingo Lounge. The other two stayed more or less in the bush, in a one-room house with toilets outdoors. We ran into animals on our way to the bathroom! Fascinating, and slightly scary. Food at Mihingo Lounge was excellent, food at the lakeside restaurant was decent. We had a teenager from the park collecting us from the restaurant at nighttime on a boda boda. It was a thrill to ride through the park at nighttime.
The safari included a boatttrip, which was great for birding, and a walking safari. The latter was the safari highlight; a two hour walk on the green steps, surrounded by buffalos, topis, waterbucks and a bucnh of other animals I cannot rememeber right now. Our guide was fantastic. A friendly, intelligent young man with a heart for nature. And a great storyteller he was too!
As for Uganda, it was marvellous. I have not been there for the last time.

A wonderful experience.
I was so impressed with the guides and people who helped us in the camp. I was in Zambia for a 4 day safari and was totally thrilled with the number of animals I saw. I would recommend Zambia as a safari destination to everyone. The weather was ideal and we were able to see the wild life during the day and at night with the large spot lights. The camp was well equipped with large tents, restaurant, bar and swimming pool and is in a perfect location right on the river.

It's hard to beat African wildlife, zero fences, the source of the Nile, and a torrential rainstorm.
While it was depressing to hear how four decades of war had decimated the local fauna, it was exhilarating to see wildlife rebounding at this preserve. We went without a guide and had a great time. We never spotted a lion, but we caught sight of just about everything else, from water buffalo to giraffes. A beautiful place.

Review about Uganda by floppyjohn
Uganda is amazingly fertile and beautiful. If it can remain at peace, it's people have a very bright future.

There are so many options to choose from. Whether you are a hard core in-the-bush safari person/family or just drawn by all the natural beauty. You can have a balanced tour!

Review about Mokolodi Nature Reserve by adoninger13
Mokolodi was great, but I would recommend Moremi, Chobe, or the Delta over it.
