Lake Mburo National Park
Nature
Rwonyo, Kiruhura District, Uganda
A compact savanna-and-wetland park between Mbarara and Kampala, organized around lakes, swamp connections, woodland, and ranching country.
Why go
Why visit this place?
Lake Mburo gives the return leg its own character: zebra and impala country, wetlands, walking possibilities, and a close relationship with surrounding pastoral landscapes.
When you arrive
What to expect
A smaller park where woodland, rocky ridges, open savanna, lakes, and papyrus wetlands sit close together.
Local knowledge
Local tip
The access road matters: Nshara Gate branches from the existing Kampala–Mbarara corridor and leads to Rwonyo.
Visiting
Getting there
UWA describes Nshara and Sanga as the two road gates from the Kampala–Mbarara highway; this circuit maps Nshara to Rwonyo.
Best time: Wetlands and vegetation respond to rainfall, while the park remains accessible from the main western road corridor.
