Its landscape alternates between grasslands, forests, and lakes. You can observe zebras, impalas, and buffalo.<\/span><\/p>\n What makes Lake Mburo particularly unique is the <\/span>opportunity to go on safari on foot or horseback<\/b>, in addition to the classic 4×4 tour. This is a more immersive way to discover nature and catch a glimpse of animals that sometimes hide as vehicles pass.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n A road trip through Uganda’s five most beautiful national parks takes on a whole new dimension when you experience it self-drive with Uganda Nomads.<\/span><\/p>\n With a<\/span> detailed road book<\/b>,<\/span> a reliable 4×4<\/b>, and the precious freedom to stop whenever a breathtaking landscape catches your eye, you’ll discover the country from the inside, at your own pace.
