Stay
1 night
Good for
zebras and a slower day

Lake Mburo is a small park of grassland, wooded hills and lakes on the road from Kampala to the southwest. It is the place to see zebras and impala in Uganda, along with buffalo, warthogs and plenty of birds.

A boat trip on the lake brings us close to hippos and birds along the shore. It is a gentle first or last stop, and it breaks up the long drive to Bwindi.
