Interesting to Know

On a very rainy Sunday morning last week, I made my way to Chakig Eco Tourism Centre, in the village of Nakoosi, Nakisunga sub county in Mukono district.

I had promised my son and daughters that I would take them to see wild animals at a new ‘zoo’ in the neighborhood. The word ‘zoo’ is running out of vogue, mainly because it is perceived as ‘caging’ of animals. Hence, the need for more hospitable words such as sanctuary, animal centre and the like, are cropping up to indicate a place animals are kept for conservation or education purposes.
