The Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre is located in Entebbe along the shoreline of Lake Victoria in Uganda. The Wildlife Education centre is popularly known as Entebbe zoo and the names are very often interchangeably used.
Throughout its history, the Entebbe zoo has been a home for wild animals that were found as casualties in Uganda. These animals were either found sick, injured, orphaned or confiscated from illegal wildlife practices.
While tigers were recently brought to the zoo, all the other animals are indigenous to Uganda and have their roots in Uganda's wild places.
