Lake Mburo national park is the smallest savannah park in Uganda. It’s located along the Kampala-Mbarara highway, making it a great daycation safari destination for tourists who don’t have much time in the country, but still desire to explore the savannah wild.
This park is the only one with Impalas from which the capital city’s name ‘Kampala’ was derived. It is also home to thousands of Burchell’s Zebras, crocodiles, and hippos that can be found along the five lakes in L. Mburo Park.
Other animals that you can find here include Leopards, buffalos, side-striped jackals, warthogs, bushpigs, and smaller predators like the white-tailed mongoose.
The L. Mburo landscape is peppered with narrow lines of woodland along the lakes, forested gorges, and rocky ridges in the western part.
The woodland keeps growing in the park because it lacks elephants, which are good at taming the vegetation.
And it has a mild climate with it raining throughout the year. Temperatures average 27°C/81°F during the day and 14°C/57°F at night.
