Quad biking safaris in Lake Mburo National Park

Quad biking safaris Uganda are not very different from other game safaris or Uganda wildlife safari game drives. The difference here is that instead of doing a game drive in your Uganda safari vehicle, you explore the park on a guided self-drive wildlife viewing drive on your quad bike.

You don’t need to have knowledge about quad biking. The All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs/Quad Bikes) used during the Lake Mburo Nationa Park safaris are easy to ride. These bikes have a Semi-Automatic Transmission ATVs with effective silencers to reduce on the noise that can scare away the wildlife. They are exceedingly wide and have low-pressure tyres to exert less impact on the trails/paths.

During your adventure, you will be able to spot several wildlife species within a close proximity than it is with game drives. The trails transverse the acacia forest offering tourists a view of the wildlife within the forest, go through the valley where you will encounter large herds of animals grazing in the vast Savannah plains. The activity is conducted at your own pace, and you can even stop to any point and time along the trail to take photographs.

Each tour of the Quad Biking safari begins with getting your kits ready that include overalls, helmets, goggles/sunglasses, bandana and closed shoes or rubber boots. Before venturing into the Park, briefing is conducted from Rwonyo Park Headquarters-entailing the dos and don’ts of the activity. Travelers are told the rules about the park, including the Uganda wildlife Authority rule, no going off-track or on over speeding.

It is a game drive that allows tourists to venture into the wilderness to experience remarkable sights and sounds of the wildlife and birds, to feel what it means to experience African wilderness without windows like it is for game drives with vehicles
