We booked our one day trip with East African Safaris in Uganda to visit Lake Mburo National Park. It was absolutely our best decision to go with these guys, I highly recommended day trip to the National Park! The place was very peaceful and full of animals. It was a beautiful moments before the sun gets up fully. A boat ride on the lake was a lovely way to end of the day.

Samuel, my guide, was amazing. He picked me up from the apartments where I was staying while in Kampala. He handled everything along the way. We stopped at the equator for a photo op, and when I expressed an interest in browsing the craft shops for a few minutes he was very amicable. As soon as we turned onto the road that leads into the park we started to see zebras and antelope and he stopped to put the top up on the van so I could stand up and take pictures. He knew all of the animals I didn't know, and he was EXCELLENT at maneuvering the van through the muddy roads, as it was raining almost the entire time. Part of the fee included lunch at a restaurant on the shore of the lake and a two hour cruise on the lake on a ferry boat. Along with the above mentioned animals, I saw baboons, monkeys, water bucks, buffalo, Ankole cattle, and warthogs. Every time we saw animals he stopped so I could get could get good shots. On the cruise there were schools of hippos and a few crocodiles. Samuel was determined that I should see giraffes and asked another guide where his group had seen some. And we eventually saw a fairly large group as we were on our way out of the park. He was extremely professional the entire time. Traffic was horrible coming back and he didn't get frustrated. I left my wallet in the van and he brought it back to me the next morning, bright and early, almost as soon as I missed it.
