Just a few moments from last year's Open Park Days.
The laughter, the curiosity, the wildlife encounters, and the memories made by families, friends, and school groups.
I can't help but wonder, what stories will this year's Open Park Days edition create?
Stay tuned.

Addressing guests at the launch, HRH Jude Mike Mudoma, Umukuka of Inzu ya Masaba, welcomed the establishment of the Mbale Wildlife Conservation Education Centre, describing it as a historic achievement for Eastern Uganda.
Umukuka furthermore noted that for decades, conservation learning opportunities were largely concentrated in Entebbe, making access difficult for many communities in the region. The new centre, he said, brings wildlife education closer to the people and opens the door for greater public participation in conservation.
The Umukuka applauded the government's decision to expand conservation education beyond the central region, saying it reflects a deliberate effort to protect Uganda's natural heritage while fostering inclusive development across the country. He pledged continued support from the cultural institution in promoting conservation and environmental stewardship.
He also pointed to the centre's potential to generate jobs and economic opportunities through conservation education, tourism, research, community engagement, and hospitality-related services.
According to the Umukuka, the facility represents more than a conservation project but it is an investment in the future of Eastern Uganda, creating pathways for sustainable livelihoods while inspiring communities to take an active role in protecting wildlife and the environment.

Speaking at the launch, Dr. James Musinguzi, Executive Director @ugwildlife , hailed the Mbale Wildlife Conservation Education Centre as a major step forward in expanding conservation awareness across the country.
He furthermore highlighted that while the Entebbe-based wildlife education centre has played a vital role since 1952, the Mbale facility becomes only the second zoo in Uganda's history and the first to be established under UWA's regional conservation education initiative.
Dr. Musinguzi also emohasied that the regional centres are designed to make wildlife and conservation learning more accessible to local communities. He noted that when people have the opportunity to see and engage with wildlife firsthand, they develop a stronger appreciation for nature and a greater commitment to protecting it.
The regional centres will provide immersive learning experiences for both young people and adults, strengthening the connection between communities, wildlife, and the environment.

Uganda’s conservation footprint is growing with the establishment of the new UWEC–Mbale Zoo, the first regional satellite zoo in Eastern Uganda.
As part of preparations for the facility’s opening, @ugwildlife has begun relocating selected wildlife species to their new home. The animals currently at the zoo, including lions,zebras,waterbucks,ostriches, and peacocks, are settling in well and adapting comfortably to their surroundings.
The new facility will play a key role in advancing conservation education, promoting wildlife awareness, and providing communities in Eastern Uganda with greater access to unique wildlife experiences.
With the official launch set for 12 June 2026, final preparations are underway to welcome visitors to this important addition to Uganda’s conservation and tourism landscape.
More updates will follow as the countdown to launch day continues.

Ever heard of Dolwe Island!
Rising from the eastern waters of Lake Victoria, this rugged rock island is where history, mystery, and adventure collide. Its dramatic landscapes and sweeping lake views set the stage for a journey unlike any other.
Dolwe is home to ancient rock paintings, created 300–500 years ago in striking maroon pigments. These artworks depict figures and symbols that remain a mystery to present-day inhabitants, adding an air of intrigue to every step you take.
The name itself traces back to the Luo word “Lolwe,” meaning Lake Victoria, reflecting the deep cultural roots of the island’s communities.
Getting there is part of the story, about a 3-hour drive from Kampala to Bwondha, then a 3–4 hour boat ride across open water.
Remote, untouched and remarkably unforgettable.
