    Kabwoya Wildlife Reserve

    Kabwoya Wildlife Reserve is a relatively new and less-visited conservation area situated on the eastern shores of Lake Albert. The reserve is characterized by its dramatic Albertine Rift Valley escarpment, offering panoramic views. It is home to various antelope species, including Uganda kob, bushbuck, and waterbuck, as well as primates like baboons and vervet monkeys. Birdwatching is also a rewarding activity here, with a diverse array of species found in the acacia woodlands and along the lake shore.
