And just like that, rhinos are back on Kidepo’s soil once again! Tired and understandably a little disoriented, these two sub-adult males have begun their journey in one of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes. Born at Ziwa Rhino & Wildlife Ranch, they are living proof of the success of UWA’s rhino conservation strategy helping restore Uganda’s…

Only a few of the Uganda Wildlife Authority vets and rangers supporting the return of rhinos to Kidepo were alive when the last rhino was poached in 1983. Today, a determined new generation is restoring Uganda’s protected areas and wildlife a generation that truly lives the UWA slogan: “Conserve for Generations.”

Rhinos at Ziwa Rhino & Wildlife Ranch, Uganda, photographed on 16 March 2026. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary stands at the center of one of Uganda’s most remarkable conservation recoveries and the return of rhinos to the majestic Kidepo Valley National Park.

They tried to smuggle Uganda’s national bird across the border. But they didn’t succeed. In a successful intelligence-led operation in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Uganda Wildlife Authority, supported by the Uganda Conservation Foundation, disrupted a wildlife trafficking network attempting to illegally trade Crested Cranes to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Under the European Union-funded project, “Supporting New and Existing Community Conservancies, Adjacent Parks and Forests in the Kidepo–Turkana Landscape of Uganda and Kenya,” partners convened in Uganda for three days of engagement, coordination and milestone achievements. To kick off the week, we held a Steering Committee meeting bringing together representatives of all consortium partners—namely, the…

Dr. Nancy is currently completing the Wildlife Capture Course at Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve, Zimbabwe – a significant milestone in her journey as one of Uganda’s rising wildlife veterinary leaders.  A huge thank you to Dr. Markus Hofmeyr, a true legend in the wildlife veterinary and rhino management world, for arranging Dr. Nancy’s participation in this…

This February, we undertook Operation Simba with Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) in Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda. The intelligence, experience of the teams, and learning throughout the Recovery of Murchison Falls programme since 2012 prompted this incredibly important effort. While we rarely publicize individual operations (they happen continuously with consistent success), this effort deserves recognition…

Upon receiving an urgent report of an elephant with a prolapse in Katore, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) rangers immediately mobilized alongside our team and Dr. Seifert, who successfully treated the elephant on-site. To maximize the likelihood of recovery, we deployed a monitoring collar on the bull to help us track his…

Behind every successful safari, healthy elephant herd, and beautiful landscape in Murchison Falls National Park is a dedicated team of unsung heroes: field teams, veterinarians, and rangers. Recent operations have clearly shown the dangers that rangers and other frontline professionals face every day.

Every day, our teams head into Uganda’s protected landscapes, including Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and Kidepo Valley National Parks, for patrols. They work alongside Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers, all of whom share the goal of protecting wildlife and ecosystems for the future.

We’re delighted to announce that our organization has been recognized as a key contributor to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition coming to Kampala this week.

We’re proud to share that our work has been featured in The Telegraph’s recent spotlight on Uganda’s remarkable conservation success story. The article highlights how Murchison Falls National Park is experiencing a glorious renaissance after decades of decline, with wildlife populations steadily recovering thanks to three decades of dedicated conservation efforts by the Uganda Wildlife…

What are the odds that one animal could walk into three separate traps? Unbelievably, this giraffe did, snared three times, fighting for survival until the veterinary team found her and turned her luck around. In the vast grasslands of Murchison Falls National Park, the team encountered one of the most heartbreaking sights imaginable: a female…

It’s been an amazing few months with the Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2025! Rangers went through a series of mini-challenges to prepare for the main event on 20th September, and Uganda’s hub event at Murchison Falls National Park was the biggest and most competitive we’ve hosted yet. Teams ran a synchronized 21km race alongside participants in…

The Wildlife Ranger Challenge was a high-profile and sensitive event. Hosted deep in the wild at Murchison Falls National Park, with the finish line at Hippo Pool on the banks of the Nile, the environment itself presents risks. Wild animals, lions, buffaloes, elephants, hippos, roam freely, and across the river lie villages where some often…

Our team in Queen Elizabeth National Park, together with the Uganda Wildlife Authority team and Dr. Ludwig Siefert of the Uganda Carnivore Program, has successfully replaced a GPS collar on a strategically important lioness we first collared two years ago.

Congratulations to all the teams who took on the Push-up Challenge this week! Teams from Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, Kibale, Kidepo Valley National Parks and Ziwa Rhino & Wildlife Ranch joined rangers from 24 countries in the 2nd Mini Challenge, competing for the highest number of push-ups in 2 minutes.

Lions are more than symbols of strength, they are keystone species whose presence keeps entire ecosystems in balance. Yet across Africa, their numbers have plummeted due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.

This afternoon we’re happy to welcome Paraa Safari Lodge back to the herd as they renew their Bull Ele Corporate Membership for 2025 – 26! Paraa Safari Lodge is one of our oldest members, supporting our work in Murchison Falls National park and across Uganda. It’s the generosity and commitment of members like them that…

Across both Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth Protected Areas, illegal activity on water, including illegal fishing, cross-boundary poaching, and wildlife trafficking, has historically outpaced enforcement capacity. But with increased investment in equipment and personnel, and fully operational Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) marine units now in place, that balance is shifting. Marine patrols now form a…

On this World Ranger Day, we honour the brave men and women on the frontline of conservation and all the sacrifices they make. Those who patrol deep into the wild, monitor wildlife, remove snares, arrest offenders, respond to emergencies, and engage communities. Rangers face considerable risks; in everything they must do. From dangerous armed conflict…

Congratulations to all the rangers who completed the first mini-challenge of the 2025 Wildlife Ranger Challenge – the Wildlife Ranger Quiz.

Organised by Tusk and the Game Rangers Association of Africa, WRC 2025…

Our team in Murchison Falls National Park is deeply embedded in daily park operations, providing essential logistical support, tactical mobility, and mission-critical equipment. With our support, the Uganda Wildlife Authority‘s law enforcement teams are able to respond faster, patrol wider areas, and maintain a consistent presence across high-risk corridors threatened by illegal activity.

We were pleased to hear from one of our early tree farmers in Pakwach, north of Murchison Falls National Park, who reached out to share some powerful feedback. He recently harvested one of his trees grown from seedlings provided by our team in 2020 and converted it into 18 pieces of timber. With each piece…

People are at the heart of wildlife conservation. Those living literally on the edge of the most iconic wildlife habitats are the first line of defense in protecting these ecosystems, but they also bear the consequences when wild animals roam near human settlements.

What does 20 years of partnership look like? It looks like lions safe and thriving in their habitat, away from communities and conflict. It looks like Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers having secure and dignified living conditions in strategically important areas. It looks like veterinary teams with the tools, training, and transport to rescue wildlife in…

The UCF Veterinary Team working with Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), has successfully re-collared a mature male lion in Kidepo Valley National Park. He’s a magnificent one! Healthy, powerful, and sporting an impressive mane. In fact, upon locating him, it became evident that his size had been underestimated during planning, prompting the team to quickly adjust…

The elephant collaring operation across Kidepo and the wider Karamoja–Turkana landscape has been successfully concluded, with 16 elephants now fitted with GPS satellite collars. Their movements are already being tracked in real time on EarthRanger, the protected area management system used by Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).

Twelve elephants and counting, the collaring operation in Kidepo has passed its halfway mark, and the data is already starting to flow. It’s also been a week of growth and learning. For our UCF veterinary team, this marks their first collaring operation conducted from the air. For others on the ground, it’s their first time…

Uganda is home to over half of the world’s remaining Rothschild Giraffes! That makes our role ever more so critical! At Uganda Conservation Foundation, we work alongside Uganda Wildlife Authority and partners to protect their habitats by constructing strategically located ranger posts and supporting the Veterinary Unit for rapid emergency response. We train and equip…

This week, in the heart of Kidepo Valley National Park, a milestone was achieved. For the first time, one of our Uganda Conservation Foundation (UCF) Vets darted an elephant from a helicopter. A first for him and for our growing team. This moment was years in the making. It was a breathtaking moment not just…

The collaring operation in Kidepo Valley National Park is now fully underway and we’ve successfully collared seven elephants. From sunrise equipment checks and pre-deployment team briefings to multiple aerial operations, today has been another showcase of precision, coordination, teamwork and commitment. An integrated team of professionals working seamlessly across land and air is driving the…

We’ve arrived in Kidepo Valley National Park, and the final pieces are falling into place for the elephant collaring operation. Throughout the day, more of the team has been arriving—some by road, others by air. The energy on the ground is high as everyone gets to work: vets are running through their equipment one last…

Kidepo Valley National Park is one of Uganda’s most remote and spectacular protected areas.

UCF is relaunching its glossy, full-sized wildlife and conservation magazine, Uganda Matters. This excellent publication has been dormant for a while now, as other more pressing demands in the field have taken priority. However, this magazine did not just exist to share with readers what we do in Uganda but to showcase the work of other entities and individuals, including the primary wildlife entity here Uganda Wildlife Authority, and to engage with other not-for-profits, academia and the private sector.

The obvious stuff is all there to see, the on-site activities that we are directly involved in – 95% of our work is directly supporting Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and their various conservation programmes in the field.
