Lake Mburo, from which the park gets its name, is the biggest lake in the 50-km long wetland ecosystem that includes 13 other lakes.
Only 5 lakes, Lake Mburo included, lie within the boundary of the national park.
We got out of the car to take a closer look.
It was early afternoon and the lake shimmered from the sun reflecting in its gentle waves.
Maybe it was the fact that Lake Mburo was surrounded by hills, but I was immediately reminded of Lake Bunyonyi, which I had visited more than a decade prior. Both were simply stunning!
As we stood on the lake shore, I could see boats nearby with people preparing to board them.
At the information center, I learned that it was possible to go for a boat ride on this beautiful lake, with boats departing every two hours.
I was almost ready to forgo the game drive and simply go for a boat ride, but the members of my party were not having any of it.
Not to be a party pooper, I continued on with them as planned.
I am happy to share: the game drive did not disappoint!
