Fauna & Flora
Several species that are widespread everywhere in Africa can be found in Mburo but are uncommon elsewhere in Uganda. Impala can only be found there, and Burchell’s zebra and eland can be found there twice as often as anywhere else in the nation. There are 68 types of mammals. Other frequently spotted antelope species include topi, common duiker, oribi, Defassa waterbuck, Bohor reedbuck, and bushbuck, in addition to buffalo, hippo, giraffe, warthog, and the zebra and eland previously mentioned.
Eland is difficult to see, yet they are widespread and spectacular when seen. The interiors of wetlands are home to sitatunga, whereas rocky outcrops are frequented by klipspringer.
Although there are many predators in the area, there is only one male lion in the park who is thought to have come from distant Tanzania whereas spotted hyena is frequently observed in packs and leopard are becoming more common, lake Mburo national park is full of life with fascinating attractions to be explored.
There are now 315 species of birds known to exist. The environments with the most diversity are wetlands and acacia woodlands. Six papyrus endemics can be found in the wetlands, and the Red-faced Barbet, which is only found in park.
Depending on the activities you will engage in the park, it’s hard to miss the Vervet monkeys and olive baboons some of the primates in the park.
