Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve

About

Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve stretches for 2788 square kilometers, encompassing both savannah and forested mountain slopes in the Mount Elgon Conservation Area. Part of the second-largest protected area in the country, the dry plains of the savannah are home to jackals, hyenas, cheetahs, cape buffalo, dik dik, Uganda kob, water back, aardvark, velvet and patas monkeys and olive baboons and birds like the giant Ostriches. It’s also the only reserve in the country with Roan antelope. To spot the resident fauna, you can arrange either a nature walk or game drive, or set out on one of the many hikes that work their way up the mountain. Please note that due to the extensive wildlife conservation efforts, the reserve charges an admission fee ($35 for adults and $5 for children), payable upon entry.
