Overview

You will start your trip by driving from Kampala to Lake Mburo National Park, which takes about 4-5 hours. On the way, you will stop at the Uganda Equator, a special line that divides the Earth into the northern and southern halves. Here, you can stand with one foot in each half, take pictures, and watch how water spins differently on each side of the line. You can also visit small shops to buy local crafts. After this stop, you will continue to your lodge. Later, you will go on an evening game drive to see animals like zebras, impalas, buffaloes, warthogs, and maybe even leopards or hyenas. On the second day, after breakfast, you will choose to either ride a bike on special paths in the park or take a guided walk with a ranger. Both ways let you get close to animals like giraffes, zebras, and antelopes while learning about the plants and animals around you. After the morning activity, you will return to the lodge for lunch and then start the drive back to Entebbe or Kampala
