A few days ago we had a nice time at the Uganda wild life Education Centre (formerly known as Zoo) at Entebbe. Lots of good changes have already been made. In my view, the happiest animals were the two beautiful lionesses and the majestic lion. Chimpanzees were not as charming as usual. The buffalos looked so healthy just as did the Zebra and as usual the proud Peacock and the elegant Crane. I can't comment on the snakes... Bravo to management.
It was evident that the camels at the center are over worked. One of them cried for all the time we spent there yet the steward kept beating it up to move. This is perhaps because many people want to climb and enjoy the camel ride. Can they try to double or triple the charge per person on peak days? I think this would let management to continue fetching the money but save the animal from being over worked. We later attended the public talk about climate change and potential impacts on biodiversity and livelihood organised by Nature Uganda.
