Mburo Lake National Park

During our trip to Rwanda and Uganda in 2024, we also passed Mburo Lake National Park, a park located between the Boarder with Rwanda and the capital of Uganda, Kampala.

The unique aspect of this park? There are no dangerous animals to worry about, which means we could run and bike freely without being attacked by a lion.  On the other hand, it’s a home to 350 bird species as well as zebras , leopard, impalas, elands, buffalos, oribi, waterbucks,  hippos, hyenas, topi and reedbuck.  So there are definitely nice animals to spot ! Hmm, caution may be advisable with some of these animals after all ;).

I had already done a safari by car in the past, which in itself is amazing, but doing this while running or biking truly added a new dimension to the experience. Without the noise of a car engine, you don’t scare the animals, and you feel even more in tune with nature.

We ended up doing a bike tour of about 32KM, which took us about 3 hours.
