3 Days Lake Mburo Safari Experience

The 3 Days Lake Mburo Safari Experience covers Uganda's most accessible national park in three rewarding days, with a game drive to spot zebras, giraffes, impalas, and buffaloes, a guided walking safari in open acacia woodland, and a boat cruise on Lake Mburo past hippos, crocodiles, and a rich gallery of water birds. It is the only park in Uganda where impalas roam, and the walking safari puts you on foot in the same open landscape.

The Equator crossing on the drive down sets the tone, and the calm of the lake on day two delivers a very different pace from the vehicles: close hippos, kingfishers hovering at the waterline, and the option to cycle through nearby communities on your final morning before heading back to Entebbe.

Want to add more days to your Uganda trip? The 4 Days Uganda Walking and Camping Safari puts you on foot in Murchison Falls for a more rugged experience. The 3 Days Murchison Falls National Park Safari pairs waterfalls with big-game wildlife in the same short format.
