2-Day Lake Mburo Zebra & Antelope Safari
Discover Uganda's beautiful savannah park, located just a short drive from Kampala. Experience close wildlife encounters, peaceful boat safaris, and safe walking treks.
A Wild, Unhurried Savannah Sanctuary
"In the quiet shadow of the acacia woodlands, wild herds move across golden grasslands."
Wander and Wonder Tours invites you to discover the magic of Lake Mburo National Park. As the closest savannah park to both Kampala and Entebbe, this compact sanctuary provides the perfect weekend safari or addition to a gorilla trek, avoiding the long, demanding road transits of western Uganda.
Because Lake Mburo lacks elephants and lions, it is one of the only parks in East Africa where you can safely walk among wild herds. Spend your days on guided walking safaris, searching for leopards during night game drives, and enjoying a peaceful sunset boat cruise on the lake.
The Savannah Experience
Retreat Investment
Enjoy a beautiful midrange safari from $495 per guest, or upgrade to a luxury lodge stay from $850 per guest sharing. Pricing includes your private 4x4 cruiser, park admissions, walking safari fees, accommodation, meals, and private guide.
Premium Additions
We specialize in organizing elegant, personalized touches. You can choose to add horseback safaris through the park, schedule a private night game drive for leopard tracking, or extend your safari to include a chimpanzee track in nearby forests.
The Guided Journey
A seamless, active 2-day getaway planned to show you the beautiful wildlife and scenery of the savannah.
The Lake Crossing
Depart early morning from your hotel, stopping at the Equator crossing for photographs and a brief demonstration. Continue to Lake Mburo National Park, enjoying a game drive as you enter. In the late afternoon, embark on a scenic boat cruise on the lake to search for hippos, crocodiles, and beautiful waterbirds before settling down for dinner.
Walking Among Wildlife
Join an armed ranger for a morning walking safari. Walk right next to herds of zebras, impalas, and buffaloes feeding in the cool morning air. After a late breakfast, enjoy a final game drive through the park, exiting for your return transit back to Kampala or Entebbe.
