Lake Mburo tour
Lake Mburo National Park habours several species not observed elsewhere
in Uganda. It is the only place in Uganda to support a population of impala
(from which Kampala city derives its name), and only one of the three protected
areas countrywide where Burchell's zebra occurs, the other two being the far
less accessible Kidepo and Pian-Upe. Other antelopes easily seen are topi,
bushbuck, common duiker, oribi, Defassa waterbuck and Bofor reedbuck, while the
lake and lush fringing vegetation support healthy populations of buffalo,
warthog, bush-pig and hippopotamus. Large herds of the majestic eland keep
roaming the park. The sitatunga confines itself to the swampy areas of the
park. Only two diurnal primates occur in Lake Mburo: the vervet monkey and
olive baboon. Nocturnal calls of the spotted hyena can be heard through the
night. Leopard, side-striped jackal and various smaller predators are
also present, most visibly the white-tailed mongoose and three otter species
resident in the lakes.

Day 2: Lake Mburo National Park/ Return to Kampala
Get up early for breakfast before a game drive towards the Lake Mburo Rwonyo Park Headquarters. This has often been a good chance of seeing hyenas coming back to their dens, hippos walking back to the water, you will see buffalo, zebra, impala and topi and with a bit of luck maybe even a sitatunga, an antelope rarely seen living in the papyrus swamps.
