Lake Mburo National Park is the only Park in Uganda where this fascinating adventure is conducted. It allows tourists to get up-close with the Wildlife species without necessarily startling them. At 260 square Kilometers, Lake Mburo National Park is the smallest savannah Park in Uganda. It is endowed with over 13 Lakes, breathtaking landscapes including rolling hills, deep valleys and varying vegetation types which are homes to 70 exceptional mammal species that include zebras, giraffes, Impalas and buffaloes among others and over 350 bird species likely to be encountered. This extraordinary safari is the only way that a tourist can experience the varying landscapes, vegetation types and most of the wildlife species found within the Park. What even makes Horseback riding worthwhile is the fact that it allows tourists to go off the usual game tracks into the Savannah plains and get up-close with the animals that in most cases feel relaxed and comfortable around the Horse than they would be with the Safari Vehicles.
