On 23rd May 2019, a white eared kob was spotted in Pian Upe Wildlife reserve in Eastern Uganda. Like all wildlife reserves in Uganda, Pian Upe is protected by Uganda Wildlife Authority

Pian Upe is one of Uganda’s best places to see rare wildlife like the Roan Antelope, the cheetah among others. The reserve has a beautiful stunning landscape scenery and gorgeous sun sets.

It should be noted however, that this wildlife reserve is not popular and less visited, making it perfect for travelers who are not interested in crowded national parks in Uganda
