Entebbe Zoo

I spent my last day in Uganda in Entebbe and visited the Wildlife Education center (commonly known as the zoo) to see any animals I'd missed on safari at close quarters.
Hyena and rhino were two species I didn't see in the wild

The ostriches were surprisingly tall; their backs are at the same height as a zebra's.


I had a chance to see several monkey species at closer quarters - red tailed monkeys, colobus and chimps.



Wild vervet monkeys run amok through the zoo and are very entertaining to watch

Crowned cranes also fly in to join the caged animals (and for free food).
I also got a closer look at the lions and giraffes, and this friendly bushbuck.
