Pian Upe is home to vast range of fauna and flora. You'll get to see leopards, roan antelopes and much more. It's also haven for bird enthusiasts and a great place to catch the only endemic species of the weavers, the fox's weaver. The Karamoja Apalis is also a common here. For a bird watcher, Pian Upe is definitely a must visit. It offers a good view of the Mount Kadam. For a full experience, consider the outdoor camping in the park. Mingle with the buffalos. There's also a sport hunting facility for trophy hunters. I unreservedly recommend a visit to this game reserve.

Virgin, extraordinarily amazing natural reserve, you'll find here one of the rarest and endemic animal species in Uganda. We've walked deep into here, futher than 60km and we've got to the tiniest of Nature's lifeline. I Love Pian Upe❤❤🇺🇬

The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The chefs cooked food to a high standard. The scenery is breathtaking and the tents have a toilet, basin and shower with solar heated hot water. We had a great time.
