Entebbe zoo, Uganda

Displayed:   times.

Popularly known as "Entebbe Zoo", was opened in 1952, by the Colonial Govt in Uganda, as a reception centre for wild animals that were found as casualties (sick, injured, orphaned, confiscated from illegal trade etc). In the early 1960s, it changed its role to a certain extent assuming the role of a traditional zoo and became commonly known as ''Entebbe Zoo". During that period, a number of non-indegenous species, including bears and tigers, were kept as an attraction.
