Lake Mburo

At last, we are at the conclusion of this journey through this incredible park, considering its size.
We had the chance to see and appreciate very different species and got to finally see them in real life.

This was my first safari and I truly loved it. My first but not my last.
In fact, in 2 weeks I am going to undertake another and much longer challenge: Murchison Falls National Park.

After meeting many of the animals in the Lake Mburo national park, we are almost at the end of our journey. Now it is time for the buffalos and the very curious warthogs.

During our walk, we saw many warthogs (if you didn’t notice yet, they are nonetheless the same species as Pumba, from Disney’s The Lion King); they seemed to be, as I said before, very curious.

Today, the focus is on the antelopes of the park.
As you will notice from the images, these animals are very curious and, after getting to know us and understanding that we are not a threat to their community, sociable; in fact, we could get quite close to them without scare them away or disrupting their behaviour.

Hello,
the journey at the Lake Mburo national park continues with a very beautiful animal: the zebra.
This time, the post is going to be mainly visual, meaning that I won’t write much and let you get a feeling by yourself.

Hey everyone,
I am writing just to inform you that I am going to post throughout this week pictures from my first trip to an Ugandan national park.

Last Sunday, with some friends, I went to the Lake Mburo national park (near Mbarara) to have a day trip.
It has been amazing and I feel we have been rather lucky as we visited it during the afternoon (the best time to see the fauna is either in the morning or in the evening, when the animals go back to the lake to get some water); but we’ve managed to see impalas, which, in Uganda, only lives in Lake Mburo, zebras, as well as baboons, buffalos and a hippo. Very exciting!

I don’t think I need to add anything more.
So, stay tuned!
Peace.
