During travel, sometimes the goal is to create more impact. Some of the places we visit offer a great opportunity for you to be a part of Uganda’s conservation efforts. The Uganda Wildlife Education Center (UWEC) in Entebbe cares for rescued wildlife and showcases the richness of Uganda’s fauna. From the Big 5 to primates.
Visit the Uganda Reptile Village. A community based conservation center dedicated to the study and preservation of Uganda’s reptile species. Botanical Gardens in Entebbe features a diverse collection of indigenous and exotic plant species. It’s also a perfect spot for bird watching and offers lakeside views.
One of the rarest birds in the world, with a very low population for many reasons. Locals hunt them down claiming they’re a bad omen but the bird which usually lays about three eggs but only one gets to adulthood, the healthier first-born which either out competes its siblings for food or kills them. This is a flying giant that can grow up to 5 feet and for bird enthusiasts, watching it is like catching a shooting star, but slow enough for you to fully see it. You can easily catch it at the Mabamba Swamp not very far from Entebbe airport and enjoy the added local canoe experience that glides you to the swamp.
Uganda enjoys as much religious diversity as it is with culture. Catholics and Anglicans dominate the population but the moslem community is equally present. The National Mosque right in the city center is iconic, besides its large prayer room your highlight here might be going up to the top of its tower for a rewarding 360 view of Kampala and its famous hills. Towards the end of the 18th Century, Kabaka Mwanga who king of Buganda at the time ordered for the execution of over 30 young men considering them disobedient after they refused to denounce their faith, these heroes are now the celebrated Uganda Martyrs and you can follow their story from the Martyrs shrine in Namugongo or from where it all started at the Kigungu Historical site where the first christian missionaries landed.

The walls still whisper of a dark past. Those who were said to be against Amin`s regime were imprisoned here and once left desperate handprints and messages written in blood, an entire river like floor carried electric shocks, and thousands never made it out alive.
Today, those same chambers at Lubiri Mengo stand as a reminder of Uganda’s history, a place where you can learn and reflect on the history that shaped the nation.
Visit these former torture chamber, just beside the Kabaka’s Palace in Mengo.
