The Fascinating Story of Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (Entebbe Zoo)

The Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre, more commonly referred to as “Entebbe Zoo,” traces its origins back to 1952 when it was established by the Colonial Government of Uganda. Initially conceived as a reception center for wild animals found in distress—whether sick, injured, orphaned, or confiscated from illegal trade—it has evolved into a vital hub for wildlife education and conservation.

Over time, the center transformed from a traditional zoo into a dynamic Wildlife Education Centre. This transition was driven by a growing awareness of the need to educate the public about wildlife conservation. Today, Entebbe UWEC Zoo is a popular destination for both locals and visitors alike, offering a unique blend of tourism and educational experiences.

A visit to Entebbe UWEC Zoo is a rewarding opportunity to witness the beauty of Uganda’s diverse flora and fauna in a setting that mimics their natural habitats. Situated on the shores of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest freshwater lake, this zoo provides an immersive introduction to Uganda’s rich biodiversity.
