Mburo National Park

Lake Mburo National Park has been a protected area since the 1930s. It’s one of Uganda’s smallest savannah areas, but it has a robust wildlife population and over 300 species of birds.

Why Mburo National Park?
The national park designation may be recent history, but the pre-Cambrian granite boulder kopjes that pepper the landscape of Mburo are more than 500 million years old. Enjoy a game drive and watch herds of zebra, buffalo and topi roam across the plains as hippos and crocodiles command the lakes and lagoons.

If you’d like to stretch your own legs, you’ll be pleased to learn that Lake Mburo National Park offers more activities than most parks in Uganda. Mountain biking, horse riding and fishing are all possible here. Keen birders will delight in guided walks to spot unique species with the help of an expert guide.
  • Uganda’s smallest savannah park.
  • Great for viewing plains game.
  • Hippos and crocs populate the waterways.
  • Activities include cycling, horse riding or fishing.
