Transfer from Kampala to Lake Mburo National Park and Evening Game Drive

You’ll start your journey with an early morning departure from Kampala, heading west towards Lake Mburo National Park. The drive takes approximately 4-5 hours, with a brief stop at the Equator for photos and an opportunity to learn about this unique landmark. You’ll continue through the rolling countryside and traditional homesteads before arriving at the park in the afternoon. You’ll check in at Rwakobo Rock Lodge which is a mid-range lodge in Lake Mburo National Park and enjoy a delicious lunch while taking in the serene surroundings. In the late afternoon, you’ll embark on an exciting game drive through the park, where you will have the chance to spot zebras, elands, buffaloes, impalas, giraffes, and hippos. The park’s picturesque acacia woodlands and open savannah provide stunning backdrops for wildlife photography. As the sun sets, you will return to the lodge for dinner and relaxation.

Day 2

Morning Walking Safari and Return to Kampala

You’ll wake up early for a guided walking safari, a unique experience that allows you to explore the park on foot and observe wildlife up close. Accompanied by an experienced ranger, walk through the savannah and enjoy sightings of zebras, elands, and other grazing animals as the park comes to life in the morning light. This intimate experience provides a deeper connection with nature, offering insights into animal behaviour and the park’s diverse ecosystem. However, if time allows, there are optional activities like cycling and a boat cruise. After the walking safari, you’ll return to the lodge for breakfast before checking out. You’ll begin the return journey to Kampala with a lunch stop along the way, arriving in the late afternoon, marking the end of the safari.
