2 Days Lake Mburo Safari( Nature Walk, Game Drives)

2 Days Lake Mburo Safari

Itinerary Overview

This two-day safari is a gentle dive into Uganda’s wild side and smallest national park in Uganda. Lake Mburo is the closest national park and easiest to access from Kampala and Entebbe, yet it feels like another world—where zebra herds drift across open plains, hippos snort in moonlit waters, and mornings begin with birdsong instead of alarm clocks. This safari is perfect for quick getaways, couples, families, or first-time safari-goers seeking calm, beauty, and wildlife without the crowds.

Summary Itinerary

• Day 1: Transfer to Lake Mburo – Afternoon Game Drive or Boat Safari
• Day 2: Morning Nature Walk or Game Drive – Return to Kampala/Entebbe

Day 1: Escape to the Wild – Lake Mburo Arrival

Early morning, after a pick up from by your professional guide in Kampala or Entebbe, depart and embark on a transfer drive heading west through the rolling hills of central Uganda. During your transfer drive, pay a close attention to the beautiful landscape as it changes from the city bustle fading into countryside rhythm—cattle herders by the roadside, long-horned Ankole cows grazing under acacias.

Upon reaching Uganda equator, opt for magnificent equator experience and proceed reaching Lake Mburo National Park by midday—a mosaic of woodland, savanna, and sparkling lakes. After lunch check-in and choose your afternoon adventure depending on your interest:

• Game Drive: Wind through valleys and rocky outcrops in search of giraffes, leopards, zebras, elands, impalas, and shy bushbuck. No elephants here—so it’s one of the few places you can safely do…
• Boat Safari (optional): Drift along Lake Mburo’s calm surface past pods of hippos, basking crocodiles, and kingfishers diving like arrows.

Evening settles gently here. The air is cooler. The stars brighter.

Accommodation at Lake Mburo:

• Budget: Eagle’s Nest Mburo
• Standard: Rwakobo Rock / Arcadia Mburo
• Luxury: Mihingo Lodge/Kigambira Safari Lodge

Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Day 2: Sunrise with Hooves – Walking Safari or Final Game Drive

Wake to the sound of birds and grazing zebra outside your room and just after your breakfast, proceed for an early morning guided walking safari—a rare and thrilling way to experience the bush. Walk among antelope. Track hippos returning to the water. Smell wild herbs crushed underfoot. Hear the grass rustle, not from your vehicle—but from something watching back.

Prefer wheels? Choose a second game drive instead, catching the morning light as it paints the savanna gold before finally beginning the drive back to Kampala or Entebbe, arriving by early evening—refreshed, re-centered, and quietly amazed at what two days in nature can do.

Meals: Breakfast & Lunch

Not All Safaris Roar. Some Whisper.
In two days, you’ll trade noise for birdsong, meetings for sunsets, and screens for zebra stripes. Ready to slow down and feel the wild?
