Great stopover
Overall rating
4/5

I asumed it was going to be a mediocre experience with just a good location but it ended up having a nice variety of animals: zebras, giraffes, impalas, topis, waterbucks, warthogs, monkeys and ankoles. Not the usual big 5 but very enjoyable nonetheless. Convinced my guide to drive by since I had some hours to spare on my way to the airport and it was delightful. Great stopover to complement what I had already seen.

Some sceneries were amazing while other sections of the park were too bushy, but they seem to be "taking care" of that since there were big chunks of the side-road having been burned down, or something like the sort. Roads were bad.

You will not see the lions here but the horseback safari is a unique feature here and the landscape is breathtaking!

A beautiful stop to relax and do some game viewing and birding
Overall rating
4/5

Lake Mburo makes a perfect stop on the way to Entebbe when your'e coming from Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. It's beautiful national park which offers excellent opportunities for bird watching. The wildlife may be described as "light" but it's improving thanks to the relocation of 19 Rothschild's giraffes.

If you like zebras this park is for you. There are herds of them here along with warthogs and baboons. The lake is picturesque and it's possible to have a cup of tea near the shore. I like Lake Mburo because tourists often overlook it on their way to the bigger name parks to the North and West. The place is not very crowded and this gives the park an intimate feel. It is also relatively close to Kampala.
