Visit the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, UWEC (zoo)

Commonly known as “Entebbe Zoo", UWEC has served as a reception for wild animals that were found as casualties from different parts of Uganda since 1952. The facility has evolved from just displaying animals to visitors to playing an important role in conservation. UWEC has the mandate to breed species which are at risk of extinction in the wild and this has enables the entity to build a healthy animal population as a backup for endangered species.

The zoo can be visited all year round and is a good place for children to see chimpanzee since they are not allowed to trek them in the wild. Tigers do not live in African wildernesses, but a visit to UWEC will offer you a chance to see them...
