Formerly called the Toro Game Reserve, this
large reserve abutting Lake Albert and the
northern base of the Rwenzoris is a rich mosaic
of grassland, savannah, forest and wetland
habitats.
The fauna is correspondingly diverse: Uganda kob
is the commonest large mammal, but there are
also forest elephant, chimpanzees, buffalo,
leopard and various monkeys and antelope.
Of the 400 bird species recorded, the shoebill
stork is regularly seen at close quarters on
Lake Albert.
