Snapshot Safari Board Game

A series of children’s books and the Queen Elizabeth National Park “Snapshot Safari Board Game” were designed and produced by Uganda Wildlife Authority in collaboration with Wild life clubs Uganda and USAID-STAR. The board games are available to play and purchase in lodges around Queen Elizabeth National Park and use fun trivia to teach about the parks resident wild life. The books use poetic and quirky stories with bright illustrations to help children learn about Uganda’s unique animals, birds and indigenous cultures

A Home away from Home [the lesser flamingo]

An Educational tool

As well as being available to tourists, these materials are used as an educational tool to promote wildlife conservation in schools around Queen Elizabeth and Rwenzori Mountains National Parks. Through this program we hope to recruit future naturalists through conservation communication and education; ensure sustainable use of Uganda’s natural resources; and conserve the country’s wildlife heritage.

Word from the Executive Director

Welcome to the official website of the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). I am honored to serve as the Executive Director of this remarkable institution, entrusted with the stewardship of Uganda’s unique and diverse wildlife heritage.

Uganda’s protected areas are home to some of the world’s most iconic species and landscapes, from the mountain gorillas in the misty forests of Bwindi, to the roaring waterfalls of Murchison, the tree-climbing lions of Ishasha, and the snow-capped peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains. These natural wonders are not only vital to our national identity but also to our economy, environment, and global biodiversity.


At UWA, we are committed to conserving wildlife and ecosystems through inclusive, innovative, and science-led approaches. We place a strong emphasis on community involvement, tourism development, environmental education, and combating wildlife crime. Our mandate goes beyond protection, it includes ensuring that wildlife conservation contributes to the well-being of communities and the sustainable development of our nation.


This website is a gateway to understanding our work, accessing real-time information, and discovering how you can support conservation efforts. Whether you are a tourist, researcher, investor, conservation partner, or passionate citizen, we invite you to engage with us and be part of this shared responsibility.


Together, let us ensure that Uganda’s wildlife and wild places continue to thrive for us and for future generations.

Conserving for Generations
