Lake Mburo National Park in Uganda conserves an area of rolling hills, open valleys and forest-fringed lakes and swamps. With its jewel-like beauty and its nationally and internationally important biological diversity, the park draws tourists and local leisure seekers alike. Its location close to two large towns and only three hours drive from the capital, Kampala, also makes the park perfect for education and research. The local Bahima pastoralists know the park area as Nshaara. This is where their former king, the Omugabe, used to graze his specially selected herds of cattle, famed for their beauty and separated into ‘battalions’ of uniform colour. The Nshaara territory was reserved for the grazing of these herds, one of the precious assets of the kingdom.
