Burigi-Chato became a national park in 2019, joining former game reserves near the west shore of Lake Victoria. It is large, with Lake Burigi, smaller lakes, rolling hills and woodland.
Tourism here is just beginning, so facilities are simple and you will rarely see another vehicle. It suits travellers who like remote places and are happy with fewer comforts.
