How big is Lake Mburo National Park?

The motto of Lake Mburo National Park is "whispers of the wild," and the wind rustling through the grasses and trees does, in fact, soothe the weary soul of the city. Listening intently will reveal more whispers in the wind, voices from people who have loved the land in the past.

Lake Mburo National Park has the size of 370 square kilometers. This is one of the smallest national parks in Uganda that travelers can experience.

Like a small jewel, Lake Mburo National Park is ideally situated near the highway that links Kampala with the western Ugandan parks. Underlying it are precambrian metamorphic rocks that are over 500 million years old, making it the smallest of Uganda's savannah national parks. In addition to zebras, impalas, elands, buffalos, oribi, Defassa waterbuck, leopards, hippo, hyena, topi, and reedbuck, it is home to 350 different kinds of birds. Due to the small size of the park, visitors can explore by foot, by car, or even by bicycle, a unique feature not common in larger parks.

Lake Mburo National Park may be small, but its diversity and proximity to the capital make it a rewarding destination for nature enthusiasts and first-time safari-goers alike. Its compactness ensures easy navigation and a fulfilling wildlife experience in a short amount of time.
