Boat safaris in Lake Mburo are a careful activity that requires visitors to take some safety steps. You must wear a life jacket, which is available in all sizes. It is also good to carry a sweater and any medicine you may need if you have allergies.
An experienced guide will take you on a boat to explore the real beauty of the park. You will see many hippos, crocodiles, and other animals and reptiles coming to the lake to drink water.
The lake is very busy with animals during the dry season. This is when most water sources dry up, so many animals come to the lake. When you see a large group of animals, make sure to take photos or videos to share with your friends at home, showing them you visited Uganda, the Pearl of Africa.
The boats have engines and comfortable seats for a smooth ride on the blue water. Each boat carries up to fourteen people and has a roof to protect you from the sun. From the boat, you can see different landscapes and plants.
If you have binoculars, you can look at things far away. The boat ride usually lasts two hours. You can eat snacks while watching hippos, crocodiles, and many birds, but please do not throw trash into the lake as it can harm the animals.
You may see birds like kingfishers, fish eagles, egrets, and hammerkops during the trip. Boat safaris run several times a day, starting early at 8:00 am, then 10:00 am, 12:00 pm, 4:00 pm, and 5:30 pm.
If you arrive late, you can talk to park staff, as the place is not very crowded and they will try to help you.
