Uganda Wildlife Education Centre and its collection
Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, opened in 1952, is a zoo in Post Office Subward, Uganda.
History
The centre began in 1952, taking in wild animals that were injured, orphaned, sick or seized. During the 1960s it was turned into a zoo, and foreign species such as bears and tigers were brought in as attractions. A reorganisation of wildlife management in 1994 converted it into an education centre held in trust.
