Lake Mburo,Zebras, Horses And Lakes

A small, easy park with big personality, and a perfect stop on the way to Bwindi.

Overview

Small, Scenic And Easy

Lake Mburo is the smallest savannah park in Uganda, and one of the most relaxed. Rolling hills, acacia woodland and a string of lakes make it very pretty.

It is home to zebras, impalas, elands, giraffes, buffalo and hippos, and few predators, which makes walking and horse-riding safe and rewarding.

The park lies between Kampala and Bwindi, so it is a natural stop on the road west.
