Walking safaris in Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, offer a unique and immersive way to explore one of the country’s most accessible and wildlife-rich parks on foot. Unlike many other parks in Uganda, Lake Mburo allows visitors to walk freely in any direction within the park, provided they are escorted by an armed park ranger, making it a safe and thrilling experience.
These guided nature walks typically last about two hours and start early in the morning or in the late afternoon. During the walk, you will encounter a variety of wildlife including zebras, impalas, buffaloes, topis, warthogs, and occasionally shy leopards. A highlight is visiting the salt lick areas where many animals gather to feed on the salty soil and rocks, offering excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
The walking safari also provides stunning views of the park’s landscape, including several lakes visible from hilltops, and the chance to explore the Rubanga forest, a haven for birdwatchers. Night walking safaris are also available, using spotlights to observe nocturnal animals along the game trails.
Lake Mburo’s walking safaris are not only about wildlife but also about connecting with nature intimately, stretching your legs after long drives, and learning about the park’s ecology and conservation efforts from knowledgeable guides. This activity is ideal for those seeking an active, up-close safari experience in a relatively predator-free environment, making it one of Uganda’s safest and most rewarding walking safari destinations.
