Wildlife
History
Lake Mburo was established as a protected area in the late 20th century to conserve grazing plains and wetland habitats important to local communities.
Conservation
The park balances tourism with community grazing rights; responsible visitation and supporting local lodges directly aid ranger patrols and conservation programs.
