Lake Mburo Horseback Safari
Ride horses alongside zebras and antelopes in Uganda's most accessible savannah park
Tour Overview
Lake Mburo National Park is Uganda's most accessible savannah park and the only one where you can enjoy a horseback safari. Ride through acacia-studded grasslands alongside Burchell's zebras, elands, and impalas, an experience unique in East Africa. This compact park is also the only place in Uganda where you can see zebras and is home to the world's largest population of the massive eland antelope. With its beautiful lake, rocky outcrops, and varied habitats, Lake Mburo offers a relaxed safari experience that is perfect as a standalone trip or as an extension to gorilla trekking.
