Rest in peace comrade Jonanathan. We continue conserving for generations🙏🙏🙏

Paying final respects to a conservation hero, Pte Jonathan Ojara, at his ancestral home in Atipe, Oyam District. Jonathan was killed by armed poachers in Karenga Community Wildlife area. May his soul rest in peace.

Overspeeding in the parks is becoming a big issue. This week, a certain member of Parliament drew a pistol at @ugwildlife staff in #Murchison Falls National Park for stopping him because of overspeeding. Luckily, they were up to the task, and he realized he was in more danger.

This is one of the reasons why motorists should observe the 40km/h speed limit when driving through the park. At that speed, it is easy to control the vehicle and avoid knocking animals. Secondly, it is dangerous to drive in the park at night, that is the time when animals move…

#RoadKill - We have sadly lost an elephant to a speeding truck (UBP 616E) along the Karuma - Pakwach highway in Murchison Falls National Park.

Sad to lose a colleague but dying in the line of duty is heroic. We shall continue with the work that Olara was doing to ensure that our wildlfie heritage is protected.

Uganda Wildlife Authority mourns the death of a ranger at the hands of armed poachers. Pte Olara Jonathan was fatally shot on November 4, 2024, during an encounter with armed poachers. His courageous service and commitment to protecting Uganda's wildlife will be deeply missed.

We often get asked if animals ‘have fun’. And to that we say... look at this mud party in Queen Elizabeth National Park! How many hippos can you count? #ExploreUganda 🔗 bit.ly/3GsC8iF

Murchison Falls; water squeezes through an 8m wide gorge and plunges with a thunderous roar into the "Devil's Cauldron," creating a rainbow. @ugwildlife @MTWAUganda @TourismBoardUg @ExploreUganda #ExploreUganda


This Leopard tortoise was easy to spot as it slowly moved along the side of the road in Kidepo Valley National Park. #DidYouknow that this reptile is among the 'Small 5' (along with the rhinoceros beetle, red-billed buffalo weaver, elephant shrew & the antlion). #KnowYourWildlife
