A 1-day Lake Mburo tour leads you to Uganda’s smallest Savannah game park (Lake Mburo National Park), which is located in the southwestern part of the country but strategically close to the highway that connects Kampala to western Uganda. The park has a diversity of attractions, such as 320 bird species, beautiful metamorphic rock outcrops, and wildlife such as zebra, impala, eland, buffalo, oribi, waterbuck, topi, and the recently translocated giraffes, which have provided fresh diversity to the animal population. On your return to Kampala, you will have a stopover at the Uganda Equator for refreshing up.
