Safari Activities & Wildlife Encounters

Being so close to the park entrance gives guests direct access to Lake Mburo’s rich safari offerings:

Guided Cycling Safaris

Hyena Hill Lodge is known for its guided mountain biking tours — a unique way to explore the park’s plains and wildlife beyond vehicle tracks. Bikes are rented from the lodge, and tours can take place inside or outside the park, guided by knowledgeable local hosts and sometimes accompanied by park rangers.

These cycling safaris typically last 2–3 hours and offer the chance to see zebras, impalas, buffalo, hippos, and many bird species up close while enjoying an active safari experience.

Game Drives & Guided Walks

Guests can arrange classic safari game drives into Lake Mburo National Park to spot wildlife like zebras, impalas, warthogs, buffaloes, and giraffes, often with the help of lodge staff or local guides.

Boat Safaris & Birdwatching

Nearby boat cruises on lakes within the park allow close views of hippos, crocodiles, and waterbirds. The area’s rich birdlife — with over 300 species recorded — makes it a paradise for birdwatchers, with many sightings directly from the lodge or nearby trails.

Cultural Experiences

Some guests also opt for cultural visits to nearby communities, where they learn about Ankole pastoralist traditions, crafts, and rural life, adding a deeper cultural dimension to the safari.
