Multi-day safari · Lake Mburo

Lake Mburo, Overnight

The closest savannah park to Kampala, taken slowly: game drives, the boat among the hippos, and a walking safari with a ranger — two or three days.

And if nobody else books your slot, it runs as a private tour — same price.

Mburo is the only park in Uganda you can properly walk in — and the overnight versions make room for it: a four-hour walking safari with a ranger among the zebras and elands.

Two days: Equator stop and lunch on arrival, afternoon game drive and evening boat, then the walking safari and home. Three days spreads the same at an easier pace, with a dawn game drive added.

Lodges in three tiers — budget (Rangeland Mburo), midrange (Rwakobo Rock, Eagles Nest), luxury (Mihingo). Park fees, boat, walks, full board, water and the 4x4 included.

Day by day

  1. Day 1 — In by lunch

    6:30 pickup, Equator stop at Kayabwe, lunch at the lodge. Afternoon game drive, evening boat cruise among the hippos.

  2. Day 2 — On foot

    The walking safari: about four hours with a ranger, at animal eye level. Then home — or a second night on the three-day version.

  3. Day 3 — Dawn drive & home — three-day version only

    Early game drive, breakfast, and back to Kampala or Entebbe.

What guests say

Visited many interesting parts of Kampala (3.5h slow walk, lots of shade/roofed areas). Steve is very nice and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

Steve was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgable. I learned a lot not only about the sites we visited but also about the Ugandan society.

Great tour. Steve knew a lot about history and was able to navigate the city well. He was also able to answer all of my questions.

I went for a city tour in Kampala with Steve and had a great time. Steve knows the city very well and gives you a look on the different faces that the city has to offer. He also has a chill vibe and he's a pleasant person to talk to.
