The world's largest group of wild chimpanzees has split and been locked in a vicious "civil war" for the last eight years.

It is not clear exactly why the once close-knit community of Ngogo chimpanzees at Uganda's Kibale National Park are at loggerheads.

Uganda’s famous Ngogo chimps of Kibale National Park have just made global headlines — splitting into rival factions in the first documented case of its kind. Science is stunned. The forests of Uganda have never been more compelling.
Come witness it for yourself.

Chimpanzee Census Results.

The inaugural census, conducted in two sweeps between May and September 2025, estimates a total population of 426 chimpanzees in the park.

This milestone marks an important step in strengthening conservation efforts and deepening our understanding of chimpanzee populations in Bwindi.

The Rhino is Back: Ajai Wildlife Reserve Signals a New Era for Uganda Conservation

For decades, the white rhino was missing from Uganda’s wild landscapes—a casualty of poaching, conflict, and ecological collapse that swept across East Africa in the late 20th century. By the early 1980s, the species had become locally extinct in Uganda, disappearing entirely from the country’s national parks and reserves.

Today, Uganda is quietly reversing that loss.

The reintroduction of white rhinos to Ajai Wildlife Reserve marks a landmark moment in African conservation: not just the return of an iconic species, but the restoration of an ecosystem and a powerful statement about what long-term conservation commitment can achieve.

Once a historic stronghold for rhinos, Ajai was carefully rehabilitated to support their return. Under the leadership of Uganda Wildlife Authority, and with strong community involvement, the reserve now offers secure habitat, trained ranger protection, and landscape-level planning designed to ensure the species’ survival for generations.

This is conservation beyond symbolism. White rhinos are keystone species, shaping grasslands and supporting biodiversity. Their return strengthens ecosystem resilience while anchoring a new model of community-linked conservation tourism in Uganda’s West Nile region—an area better known internationally for humanitarian response than wildlife recovery.

For travellers, Ajai offers something increasingly rare: the chance to witness a species comeback story in real time, in a landscape that feels raw, uncrowded, and deeply authentic. For conservationists, it demonstrates how protection, policy, and people can align to move a species back from the edge; locally, sustainably, and ethically.

Uganda’s rhino story is not about nostalgia. It is about responsibility and possibility. It shows that extinction does not always have to be final, and that with patience, partnership, and political will, restoration can succeed even decades later.

In bringing back the white rhino, Uganda is offering the world more than a wildlife sighting. It is offering proof that conservation, when done right, can heal landscapes—and redefine a nation’s relationship with nature.

[Veron Vera @VeronVera2020]

This bold rhino translocation was made possible because the world stepped in. Through the #NameARhino campaign, $11M turned 17 calves into symbols of hope for a species once lost in Uganda’s wild.

Moving a rhino is never just logistics. It demands science, security, habitat readiness, and shared responsibility, a reflection of years of coordinated conservation.

With one day to go, a long-standing promise is being fulfilled. Tomorrow, these 20 rhinos leave Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for Ajai Wildlife Reserve, reclaiming an ancestral home lost decades ago.

This is more than a return, it's a restoration. A new chapter for Uganda’s conservation begins.

AWARD ALERT

Last night, Kylan Wekesa received an award on behalf of Great Lakes Safaris ltd and interacted with many Ugandan tour Operators.

He also caught up with both RSA and Hanspaul leaders, top 2 safari car convertors on the continent like you can see in the pictures below.

He called me earlier on and said, Dad you love throwing me in the deep end. I told him because I know I have taught you how to swim. He laughed!

I wish I could share some conversations I often have with Kylan Wekesa! Too many!

Recently, he told me dad, at some point I tried hard to annoy you in every possible way but I was disappointed because I realized you didn’t really care.

He adds, I realized I was at loss myself and quickly changed. Eh son, I have too many problems to solve and if you decide to be funny, I leave you alone and solve challenges.

Son Dad relationships aren’t always easy but I think we have done well together so far. I annoyed him many times on purpose so he can learn how to deal with that earlier.

With support from @GreaterVirunga, we have replaced ladders at Sabinyo and we are ready to open for hiking. There are three peaks on different mountains being connected by these paths where landscape view is more breathtaking. Rehabilitation of works under @ifpa- CD have commenced and will connect Sabinyo, Gahinga and Muhabura for diversified experience of treks and hikes. Don't miss the #experience.
