The wildlife within Lake Mburo National Park is varied and compact, ranging from semi-aquatic mammals along the papyrus swamps to plains game like zebra and topi. It is also the only place in Uganda to spot the impala and eland in large numbers, and therefore boasts the highest concentration of leopards, who are known to follow their favorite impala prey.
