Detailed Itinerary – 2 Days Lake Mburo Tour
Day 1: Transfer from Kampala to Lake Mburo-Game Viewing
Depart for Lake Mburo national park from Kampala heading west along Masaka-Mbarara road. Lake Mburo is named after one of two brothers who once lived in this place who drowned in a flood as a result of being stubborn despite his constant warnings. Lake Mburo though small has a lot to offer such as the Lake itself among other 14 crater lakes, offers excellent game viewing as there are different antelope species like, sitatunga antelope, the impalas for which Kampala is named after. Elands, klipspringers, Defassa waterbuck, the common duiker, Burchell’s zebra, warthogs, buffalos, oribi and Bohor reedbuck are some of the wild animals to lookout for. As you do a game drive through the park along the lakeside track and Kigambira loop you will be able to see most of these animals. Stay overnight at Rwonyo Camp (budget)/ Mantana tented Camp (luxury)
