Getting to Lake Mburo National Park? You’re covered. Lake Mburo National Park is one of the most visited national parks in Uganda located adjacent to the Kampala – Mbarara highway. It is much more probable as a one-stopover on a multiple-park tour, which can connect you to Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Rwenzori Mountains, Bwindi Impenetrable, and Mgahinga Gorilla national parks.
Lake Mburo National Park is located in western Uganda, that’s about 228 km (142 mi) from Kampala and 60km (40 mi) from Mbarara. The drive from Kampala takes about three to four hours and about just one hour from Mbarara city.
The road is well tarmac although is one of the most dangerous roads in the country with sharp corners and a little slippery. So, take care of any kind of reckless driving by public vehicles and long trucks that use the same route.
