We left Kampala
early in the morning for the final time and then had about a five hour drive
before reaching Lake
Mburo National
Park. Soon
after arriving we had a boat tour around Lake Mburo.
It was quite interesting and peaceful (read
easy to fall asleep because we were all dead tired). We saw lots of hippos swimming
in the lake, birds, and some young crocodiles.

After the boat ride we had our lunch in the
open air restaurant (quite unique). We
then got ourselves ready for the night in one of the fixed platform tents. If ever I felt like I was on the TV show ‘Survivor’
this would be the time. After getting settled in the tents,
we headed back in our bus for a safari ride through the park. Overall, we saw lots of animals.
After the safari we had dinner in the open
air restaurant (basically in the dark!). The food was good as it featured some Talapia
fish out of the lake.
It was a neat experience using the tents,
as we had to use ‘bug nets’ and we were all awoken before dawn with a heavy
rain. After an early breakfast, we were
on our way back to Entebee (home of Uganda’s airport) for another long drive where we all
started our journey back home.
