Tucked away in southwestern Uganda, just a scenic drive from Kampala or Entebbe, Lake Mburo National Park is one of Uganda’s best-kept safari secrets — a tranquil wilderness where zebras roam free, antelopes leap across open plains, and the rhythm of nature moves slowly, beautifully, and without crowds.
At Queen of East Africa Luxury Tours, we love Lake Mburo for its intimacy. It’s the perfect first stop on your safari circuit or a peaceful pause before heading home. With fewer vehicles and no predators in some zones, this park offers rare opportunities to walk among wildlife, sail on quiet waters, and soak in Uganda’s unfiltered natural beauty — without the rush.
Step off the vehicle and into the wild. Accompanied by an expert ranger, explore the savannah on foot and walk near zebras, impalas, and giraffes — a peaceful yet exhilarating experience found in very few parks.
Swap 4x4s for saddles and ride alongside herds of eland, topi, and zebra with no engine noise — just wind, hoofbeats, and the scent of wild grass. A unique and unforgettable way to connect with nature.
Drift quietly past pods of hippos, basking crocodiles, and colorful kingfishers as you explore the tranquil waters that give the park its name. A perfect blend of relaxation and close-up wildlife encounters.
For adventurous guests, we offer guided cycling through the park’s dirt trails — a thrilling and active way to experience Uganda’s landscape on your own rhythm.
Stay at elegant eco-lodges with views over the lake and golden plains. End your day with a fireside cocktail, listening to the soft calls of nightjars and hippos across the water.
While smaller in size than some of Uganda’s larger parks, Lake Mburo boasts rich wildlife, including:
Lake Mburo is about slowness, stillness, and soul. It offers the kind of peaceful luxury today’s travelers crave — space to breathe, connect with the land, and experience Uganda’s quiet side with comfort, charm, and care.
