Lake Mburo National Park Safari

2 Days | Every Saturday Departure

Short on time but eager for a real wildlife experience? Just about 4 hours from Kampala, Lake Mburo National Park offers one of the most accessible and rewarding safari escapes in Uganda. Perfect for weekend travelers, couples, or small groups seeking a quick yet immersive adventure.

We organize guaranteed departures every Saturday, while private groups and couples can request flexible travel dates.

Why Choose Lake Mburo National Park?

Lake Mburo is one of Uganda’s smaller parks, but it delivers an impressive density of wildlife. With poaching significantly reduced, animal populations have rebounded, making sightings frequent and rewarding.

• The only park in Uganda where impalas thrive
• A stronghold for plains zebra and eland, Africa’s largest antelope
• A habitat for bushbuck, Defassa waterbuck, topi, and warthogs
• Home to elusive predators like leopards, hyenas, and occasionally lions

Bird lovers will find exceptional diversity:

• The rare shoebill stork in papyrus swamps
• The elusive African finfoot along Lake Mburo shores

A boat trip on the lake offers close-range wildlife viewing at the water’s edge.

Stay at Eagles Nest Lodge, perched on a hilltop with panoramic views over Lake Mburo. This elevated location allows you to relax with a drink while watching wildlife roam the surrounding slopes.
