Review about Lake Mburo National Park by OurDistantJourney
Overall rating
3/5

Although Lake Mburo National Park is one of Uganda’s smallest parks we enjoyed the great lake setting and large populations of impala, zebra and buffalo. The highlight for us was a sunset walking tour with a ranger that allowed us to get closer to the animals.

About: Uganda
Wildlife disappointing compared to Serengeti area
Overall rating
3/5

Having done a safari in the Serengeti immediately before Uganda it was always going to be difficult to live up to expectations. The quantity and variety of wildlife was poor in comparison. The people in my group who were starting with Uganda were quite thrilled with what they saw so I may be being overly harsh. Our guide explained that much of the wildlife was decimated during the Idi Amin era and is still recovering so perhaps in the future it will improve. The campsites we used varied quite widely from fairly developed areas in Jinja/Kampala to merely a flat area near the river at Lake Mburo. The gorillas and Bwindi forest in general were amazing and did make the trip to Uganda worthwhile in my opinion.

beautiful camp site directly at Zambezi river, 40km from park entrance. Real bush vibe - we where the only tourists inside the park at his time

About: Zimbabwe
a (very) short view in North Zimbabwe
Overall rating
3/5

We visited - coming from Botswana on the way to Zambia - shortly the Zambezi N.P. and the Falls. 2001 was the time at beginning of the crisis in Zimbabwe, there where only a view organized tourists at the falls and no one in the N.P. accept ourself. There were some problems with the petrol supply e.g.
Wildlife was a bit poor in the park - have seen just some pigs and a lot of monkeys, which try to steel what they could get (including closed tins and onions).
The Falls are better to visit an the Zimbabwe side than on the Zambian.
Because of the unsave situation inside the country at this time we did not travel further in Zimbabwe.

I was expecting more from this park
Overall rating
3/5

Everyone I've met calls this their favorite park, but I was disappointed by my experience. We arrived at the gates at the scheduled opening time, but the staff showed up over an hour late. By the time we made it to the river tour it was too late in the day for many of the animals to be active. The staff was also rude to our driver when our family asked him to accompany us for lunch at the lodge. However, the views of the falls were spectacular and the animals are big.
