If you’re looking for a safari experience that captures the essence of Uganda’s wildlife without venturing too far from the capital, Lake Mburo National Park is the perfect destination. Compact, scenic, and teeming with wildlife, it is Uganda’s most accessible national park exceptional for weekend getaways, short safaris, and a final stop before or after trekking Gorillas at Bwindi Forest or Mgahiga Gorilla National Park. The Park is ideal for self-drive travelers, adventurers, photographers.

Though smaller than Uganda’s iconic parks like Murchison Falls or Queen Elizabeth, Lake Mburo is a hidden gem known for its beauty, variety, and calm atmosphere. It covers an area of about 260 square kilometers, the park is dominated by rolling hills, open savannah, acacia woodland, and five lakes interconnected by papyrus swamps.
