It is obvious that i love nature especially the wildlife. But that me tell you a little about where i come from. It's a place in western Uganda called Mbarara, believed to be the land of milk and honey.This area too has a national park, with some of the amazing wildlife ever.
Lake Mburo National Park is situated between Masaka and Mbarara, 420km south west of Kampala (3.4 hour drive).It is one of the more popular and small parks covering an area of 256 sq km, it’s normally visited because it’s near the city. It’s mainly made up of grassland, wetland and acacia woodland. At the center lies the Lake Mburo, which together with 14 other lakes, forms part of an extensive wetland area.
The open valley on the western side of the game offers the best game viewing opportunities, with huge array of flora and fauna, large herds of elephants and buffalo, eland, rock hyrax, zebra, waterbuck, buffalo, warthog, leopard, civet, hyena, hippo, and crocodile, large variety of antelope including the rare Impala. It is the perfect destinations for ornithologists. There are also over 357 species of birds including the marabou stock, the crested crane, Bronze-tailed starling, and bee-eaters. These mainly park around the lakes.
