About UWEC
The Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Center is a fun and exciting place to see and learn
about the animals of Uganda and the ecosystems in which they live. Take some time to learn how
they live, eat, play, and walk.
Originally founded in the 1950s to accommodate confiscated and injured wildlife and to look
after orphan animals confiscated from smugglers, the centre has grown considerably in recent
years. Many say it's destined to become the most important facility to showcase wildlife on the
African continent.
