Lake Mburo Day Safari
The closest savannah park to Kampala: zebras, impalas and a boat trip on the lake, back by nightfall.
And if nobody else books your slot, it runs as a private tour — same price.
Hosted by SteveWalking Kampala since 2018
The closest savannah to Kampala, done properly in a day: out at 6:00, an Equator stop with a rolex for breakfast, and into the park by mid-morning.
Game drive among zebras, impalas, elands and buffalo, lunch, then two hours by boat on the lake with the hippos and crocodiles before the drive home.
Bring a camera, sunscreen and long trousers. Entrance fees, lunch and transport included.
