In a majestic display of support for Uganda’s tourism and conservation efforts, HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, graced the grounds of Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC) EntebbeZoo. The Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) proudly welcomed the distinguished guest, offering him a glimpse into the country’s unparalleled natural wonders and vibrant cultural heritage.
Yesterday afternoon, amidst the lush landscapes and diverse wildlife of Uganda, Prince Edward embarked on an immersive journey through UWEC, EntebbeZoo. The sprawling sanctuary served as the perfect backdrop for his exploration, providing a firsthand encounter with Uganda’s rich biodiversity.
As Prince Edward traversed the pathways of the zoo, he was greeted by a myriad of species that call Uganda home. From majestic lions to graceful giraffes, and elusive primates to colorful birds, the Duke of Edinburgh marveled at the sheer variety of wildlife thriving within Uganda’s borders. His visit underscored Uganda’s reputation as a premier destination for nature enthusiasts and adventurers seeking unparalleled experiences in the heart of Africa.
Beyond the mere observation of wildlife, Prince Edward actively engaged in conservation efforts during his visit. A poignant moment occurred as HRH participated in a tree-planting ceremony, symbolizing the collective commitment to responsible tourism and environmental sustainability. This act emphasized the vital role that tourism plays in preserving Uganda’s natural treasures and safeguarding its delicate ecosystems for future generations.
For the Uganda Tourism Board, Prince Edward’s visit serves as both a validation and an inspiration.

As the echoes of Prince Edward’s visit resonate throughout Uganda, the Uganda Tourism Board remains steadfast in its commitment to preserving the country’s natural heritage. With the Duke of Edinburgh’s gesture as a guiding light, the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) will continue to advocate for responsible tourism practices, ensuring that Uganda’s majestic wildlife and cultural treasures endure for generations to come.
