Lake Mburo National Park Accommodation
Lake Mburo National Park is Uganda's smallest savannah national park, yet it offers a unique and accessible wildlife experience. Unlike most other parks, it is possible to undertake walking safaris, horseback safaris, and boat trips on Lake Mburo itself. The park is home to zebras, impalas, elands, buffalo, and a healthy population of leopards. It is also an excellent birding destination, with over 350 bird species recorded, including the African finfoot. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills, acacia woodlands, and papyrus swamps.
