Some animals like the warthog, a wild bush pig species that regularly visits Kigambira Safari Lodge, can be seen at night.
Kigambira Safari Lodge is always happy to arrange night game drives, giving guests the opportunity to sight the nocturnal creatures – hyenas, hippos coming out to graze. With regard to predators, you may be lucky enough to spot the cheeky hyena, elusive leopard, or even the almost extinct lions that have recently been spotted again.

Birding
Lake Mburo National Park is one of the best places in East Africa to find acacia-dwelling birds and, Southern species at the northern limit of their range.
From the Shoebill,bare-faced go-away bird to the Black-collared barbet, sightings of such birds are almost guaranteed on a peaceful boat trip on Rwonyo on Lake Mburo.
This experience, as well as the more popular early morning nature walks in Rubanga Forest, are, in fact, great for checking off many forest species. The park’s impressive checklist contains more than 310 species in total.
A bonus for birders is the swamps, in which the prehistoric-looking shoebill stork goes fishing. Here you will also find six resident papyrus specials, including the spectacular blue-headed coucal and papyrus gonolek.
