More About Lake Mburo National Park and Lake Mburo Boat Safari
Lake Mburo is underlain by ancient Precambrian metamorphic rocks, and sculptured landscapes, with rolling hills that date back more than 500 million years. It contains an extensive wetland area that harbors several species of mammals and birds, found nowhere else in Uganda.
The 370 sqkm park is an increasingly common stop on the safari circuit for visitors traveling to western Uganda or for clients who would wish for a one-day tour from Kampala. This is because the park is just a short distance away from Kampala so it can easily be accessed to carry out a variety of park activities.
You may also journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Uganda from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to mountain gorillas, for gorilla trekking in Uganda. Uganda is home to incredible wildlife in Africa.
You can make an extension to visit Bwindi Forest on a budget gorilla safari to encounter the mountain gorillas. For those that wish to see mountain gorillas in Rwanda, visit Volcanoes National Park, which is famous for gorillas and golden monkeys.
