Mburo is an extension of the Tanzanian plains with big herds of zebra, impala, eland and other ungulates. The park has 68 species of mammals including oribi and Bohor reedbuck. The park also has a good range of birds, with African fi nfoot and papyrus bushshrike amongst regular sightings. Mantana Tented Camp MID Situated inside the park on a small hill overlooking Lake Mburo this is a genuine bush experience with nicely furnished tents and private verandas. The wooded ridge, adjacent to the lodge, is great for birdwatching and is also home to a number of interesting small mammals. Ngamba Island This sanctuary in Lake Victoria near to Entebbe is home to orphaned chimpanzees, rescued from poachers, who have no hope of returning to life in the wild. Here, they can enjoy a free run of the island, safe from harm. Day visits can be arranged but there is also a tented camp here for visitors wanting to learn more about the sanctuary's aims and spend more time with the chimps. Trips out to the island will give visitors the opportunity to view the twice- daily feeding times and explore the island which is also home to over 120 species of birds and some 50,000 fruit bats! Ngamba Island Tented Camp MID This small camp comprises just four tents, each on wooden decks, with superb views overlooking Lake Victoria. Meals are hearty here and often include freshly caught lake fi sh. By visiting Ngamba you will be helping to support the orphaned chimpanzee project. You can even join a forest walk with a group of infant chimps, or become a Chimpanzee Caregiver for a day and help prepare the chimps' food and feed them.
