If you don't have a safari planned, this might be your opportunity to catch a glimpse of Africa's wildlife. It's no Singapore Zoo but, unlike many third world offerings, this is not a depressing place. There are good play facilities for kids and the aviaries are especially interesting with weaver birds, shoebills and fish eagles. There's a medium-size collection of wildlife saved from captivity, including lions, rhinos, zebras, crocodiles, giraffes, hyenas, chimpanzee and others. All animals (apart from the snakes and crocodiles) are held in large, natural-like areas that gives a nice semi-authentic feeling. The trees and lianas are magnificent and you can understand why various 'Tarzan-type" movies were filmed here. Admission for foreign adults/children is UGX30,000/15,000; Uganda resident foreigners UGX20,000/10,000; Ugandans UGX10,000/5,000 and you end up with 1.5-2 hours of good-old fun. TIP: opens daily at 08:30 and you may want to come early before the animals go hiding in the shade from the midday's sun.There is also accommodation inside the centre so you could stay the night in a Banda (en suite circular hut with a thatched roof & fly-screened windows) next door to the (very quiet) giraffes, elands and impala for USD40/60 sgl/dbl or stay in some serviced flats next to noisier animals for USD50/70 sgl/dbl. There is also dormitory accommodation available for UGX30,000 and camping is even cheaper.
