A little closer to extraordinary.
A two-day escape into Lake Mburo’s wildlife country, with time to slow down and explore on foot.
Just a 4-hour drive from Kampala/Entebbe, Lake Mburo National Park is the ideal short safari destination. Though small, the park is rich in wildlife and offers unique experiences such as walking safaris and night game drives not commonly available in other Ugandan parks.
It is home to Uganda’s only population of impala, large herds of zebra, and a variety of antelope species. Hippos, crocodiles, and an impressive array of birdlife thrive along the lake shores, making it a perfect mix of relaxation and wildlife adventure.
