After a filling breakfast, all roads will lead to Uganda’s smallest park that is known for Zebras – Lake Mburo National Park. This route offers you a great opportunity to have a stopover at the Equator, which not only serves as a great spot for photos but an opportunity for a quick stretch. After some afternoon refreshments and check-ins, we explore this wild land on two wheels. The afternoon ride on the borders of the park while viewing some of the fascinating wildlife like zebras, Ugandan kobs, and hard-to-miss warthogs is an experience like no other.
