Queen Elizabeth National Park one of Uganda’s most biodiverse wildlife reserves.

When I visited last year, I got the chance to go on safari with a ranger to track the parks big cats. We got incredibly lucky to see both lions and a leopard during the safari, including getting stuck in the mud for hours surrounded by these lions!

Vultures might not be the most glamorous birds, but they’re among the most important.

As nature’s clean-up crew, vultures feed on carcasses, helping prevent the spread of disease and keeping ecosystems healthy.

Yet vultures are in decline worldwide, threatened by poisoning, habitat loss, hunting and collisions with power lines. In some regions, they’re also deliberately poisoned by poachers seeking to prevent vultures from circling above illegally killed wildlife.

Bobby’s Story:

Bobby was rescued from Bangui, where he had been kept chained outside a restaurant as a tourist attraction, isolated from his own species with little stimulation.
After months of negotiations, Bobby finally began his three day journey to Chimfunshi in August 2000.

Since arriving, he has developed natural behaviours, formed strong relationships within his social group and now spends his days grooming and resting with his friends, or exploring his 25-hectare enclosure, often with his favourite stick in hand. 🌿🐒

He is particularly famous for blowing raspberries with his closest friend, Sinkie, to catch the attention of keepers and visitors. The two are deeply bonded and have even taught each other this behaviour.

From a life spent chained outside a restaurant, Bobby now has the freedom to explore, forage, socialise and enjoy life with his chimpanzee family.

One of the most commonly used tools to train elephants to perform tricks is something called a bullhook.

It consists of a long wooden handle with a sharp, curved metal hook at the end. Trainers use these hooks to strike or stab elephants in sensitive areas of their bodies, inflicting pain to control their movements and behaviour.
