Enjoy some final early morning birding in Lake Mburo National Park, including a private boat ride on the lake.
This delightful small park has rolling scrub-covered hills, open dry areas, pockets of woodland, papyrus beds, marshy lake fringes and open water. The five lakes within the park attract hippos, crocodiles and a variety of water birds - while the fringe swamps are home to Papyrus gonalek.
We look for species such as the Long-tailed cisticola, Red-faced barbet and many others. A variety of new and interesting birds occur within this park and we hope to spot the African finfoot, Black-headed night heron, Lizard buzzard, African goshawk, Coqui francolin, Emerald-spotted wood dove, Red-headed lovebird, Bare-faced go-away-bird, Lilac-breasted roller, Green wood hoopoe, Greater honeyguide, Green-backed woodpecker, the restricted range Red-faced barbet, Mosque and Rufous-chested swallows, Yellow-breasted apalis, Broad-tailed grassbird, Grey tit-flycatcher, Chinspot batis, White-winged black tit, Grey (African) penduline tit, Violet-backed starling, Fan-tailed widowbird and Red-cheeked cordon-bleu. Two rarities occasionally seen here are the White-backed night heron and the Thick-billed cuckoo.
Afterwards we drive 5-hours to Entebbe with an included picnic lunch, crossing the equator along the way, where you can stop to see how water flows clockwise on one side and anti-clockwise on the other side.
On arrival in Entebbe you will have the use of a hotel day room until your transfer to Entebbe Airport for your flight home.
