2-Day Lake Mburo Safari with Cycling, Giraffe Walks and Boat Ride

Your journey begins with a morning pickup from Kampala or Entebbe. As we head southwest, we dive straight into the local culture and fascinating landmarks.

The Lukaya stopover offers a true Ugandan road trip tradition. We will stop at Lukaya for famous roadside roast meats, including succulent chicken, goat meat, and sweet roasted plantains known as "Gonja."

At the Equator crossing, stand in two hemispheres at once. We will stop for iconic photos and witness the fascinating physics of the Coriolis effect at this imaginary line.

After arriving at the park in the late afternoon, swap the car for a mountain bike. This is one of the few places in Africa where you can cycle with zebras and giraffes. Enjoy the cool evening breeze and a golden savannah sunset as you pedal past herds of impala and eland.

In the evening, relax at your lodge, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African bush.

Day two is all about getting out of the vehicle and immersing yourself in the landscape of Lake Mburo National Park.

After an early breakfast, we head out for a sunrise game drive. In Lake Mburo, the experience is flexible - at specific safe points, you are encouraged to get out of the vehicle and walk to get a closer view of the towering giraffes. It is a thrilling way to appreciate the scale of these "gentle giants" in their natural habitat.

Following lunch, we board a boat for a relaxing cruise on Lake Mburo. Keep your camera ready for resident hippos, prehistoric-looking crocodiles, and vibrant birdlife. You will likely hear the iconic call of the African Fish Eagle as it hunts along the shoreline.

In the late afternoon, we begin our return journey to Kampala or Entebbe, carrying memories of an unforgettable 48 hours in the wild.
