Lake Mburo National Park

This week I want to share about the Lake Mburo National Park!

The Lake Mburo National Park is 20% wetland. The park used to have lots of grasslands, but now there are no elephants present in the park and so the forested areas are not trampled down by elephants.

Although the park is not home to elephants, there are many other animals such as zebra, impala, eland, buffalo, oribi, Defassa waterbuck, leopard, hippo, hyena, topi and reedbuck. In case you are wondering what some of these animals look like, here is an eland:

And a reedbuck:
