Lake Mburo National Park
Lake Mburo National Park, situated in the western region of Uganda, is a captivating destination known for its unique blend of savannah and wetland ecosystems. Spanning 370 square kilometers, the park offers a diverse array of wildlife and scenic beauty, making it an ideal spot for a tranquil safari experience.
One of the park’s highlights is its namesake, Lake Mburo, a large, picturesque lake that is central to the park’s landscape. The lake, along with its surrounding wetlands and grasslands, attracts a wide variety of wildlife. Visitors can enjoy boat safaris on the lake, where they can observe large populations of hippos, Nile crocodiles, and an array of bird species, including the vibrant African fish eagle and the striking great white pelican.
Lake Mburo National Park is renowned for its rich biodiversity, with over 68 mammal species recorded. The park is one of the few places in Uganda where visitors can encounter species such as the Burchell’s zebra, the rare eland antelope, and the shy oribi. Other notable residents include impalas, topis, and buffaloes. The park is also home to a variety of predators, including lions and leopards, though these are less commonly seen.
The park’s varied habitats offer numerous opportunities for exploration and adventure. Guided walking safaris provide a unique way to experience the park’s landscapes up close and learn about its flora and fauna from knowledgeable guides. Horseback safaris are another exciting option, allowing visitors to traverse the park’s open plains and get closer to the wildlife in a way that is both thrilling and gentle on the environment.
In addition to its wildlife and natural beauty, Lake Mburo National Park is rich in cultural heritage. Nearby communities, including the Ankole people, contribute to the park’s vibrant atmosphere and offer opportunities for cultural interactions. Visitors can learn about traditional pastoralist lifestyles, local crafts, and the cultural significance of the park’s natural resources.
Lake Mburo National Park provides a unique and serene safari experience, combining the charm of its lake and wetlands with diverse wildlife and rich cultural experiences. Whether you’re cruising on the lake, exploring the savannah on foot or horseback, or engaging with local communities, Lake Mburo offers a memorable adventure that showcases the natural and cultural treasures of Uganda.

Our Travelers Testimonials
The Best in East Africa
We were a group of about 25 people. This was a bucket list trip for us (husband and myself) and Travel Wild did not disappoint. Fabulous from the minute we landed. Everything was perfect. Excellent communication, timing, helpfulness. Beautiful accommodations, friendly helpful people. We stayed busy, but were also offered down time. Travel Wild was patient with my many many email questions and provided prompt replies. It would be a dream to book with them again.
Totally Recommend Travel Wild!
We had travelled with a group of 40 with Travel Wild. Dan was our guide for the 5 day trip which was starting from the Nairobi Airport-Naivasha-Masai Mara Safari and back to Airport. The stay were perfect and Travel Wild was on standby for any/all requirements that we have. We would 100% recommend them and especially travel with Dan as there is never a dull moment while travelling with him.
A Massive Thank-You From A Return Customer!
Having used Travel Wild a few years ago, I was longing to come back to East Africa to explore the region a bit further. One cannot imagine a trip to Kenya or Tanzania without going on safari, however I was wary of taking young children (5 & 7 years old) on such a tour. Travel Wild carefully planned our itinerary taking into account our wishes and specifics of the group which did take some time, therefore thanks a lot for your patience!
Incredible Trip To Kilimanjaro & Mt. Kenya!
My friends and I joined Travel Wild Tours on an 8 day trip to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and a 5 day trip to Mt Kenya National Park in Kenya. Although the company is based in Kenya, they subcontracted another professional company called Enjoy Kili to lead us on the Kilimanjaro trek in Tanzania. It was a well put together trip with great service. I definitely recommend this company and their Mt Kenya trip!
Amazing, Memorable Tailor-Made Safari Holiday!
Travel Wild (based in Nairobi, Kenya) organised a fully bespoke holiday from us (we are based in London, England) incorporating 5 different destinations across Kenya and full action packed itineraries at each destination, including transport between the locations, guides, domestic flights, and sound advice throughout. We felt thoroughly catered for and in safe hands. The team is always on email and on the phone and we had no qualms. Would recommend using Travel Wild directly from abroad. A holiday of a life time that we won't forget. Thank you to the team.
Everything We Hoped For & More
We booked our Kenyan vacation through Travel Wild which included a 4 day safari at the Karen Blixen Camp and a 3 night stay at Diani beach. Travel Wild guided us on the itinerary, timing and arranged all transportation, ect, ect. We had never been to Africa before and the guidance, advice, and attention to detail allowed our trip to be stress free and unforgettable. They clealy do more than safaris!!!! If there was a 10 star rating they would get it!
