Lake Mburo National Park is one of Uganda’s smaller parks where the landscape consists mainly of savannah and acacia woodland . There are five lakes within the park boundaries which account for 20% of the Park’s surface area and of which Lake Mburo is the largest. This makes this small park very interesting for birding all year round.
The rest of the park is covered with acacia savannah and is notable for supporting a wide variety of antelope. It is the only place where the impala still occurs in Uganda and it is the one of the best places to see eland, Africa’s largest antelope. Large herds of buffalo and zebra are common.
At the lakes there are hippo and crocodile and a wonderful diversity of birds. Because of the different habitats of the lakeshore and the broad savanna, the variety seems endless. Catch a glimpse of waterbirds diving for fish, the maribou stork, bee-eaters and the cheeky bronze-tailed starling, as well as the majestic crowned crane.
