Conservation Programme

Since our conservation efforts began in the Semliki Valley Wildlife Reserve in 1992, we have seen very encouraging results.

Lions have migrated back into the reserve and are multiplying in numbers, new herds of elephant have returned to the reserve, both forest and savannah species, and the numbers of Uganda Kob have increased tenfold and visitors are now witnessing live births!

Our research programme on chimpanzees was launched in 1995, run jointly by the Uganda Safari Company and Indiana University Department of Anthropology, and we have discovered that we have four different communities of chimpanzees.

Visitors are able to accompany the researchers into the forest. Leopard are a regularly featured nocturnal species - heard a lot, seen increasingly.

Our conservation efforts are ongoing - in fact we are currently working on the translocation of the last remaining Roan Antelope in Uganda, moving them from a threatened area in the East of the country to a safe National Park in the North.

There are only five of these animals left in Uganda and they need protecting. Contact us if you wish to help!
