Karuma-Pakwach Highway: How to avoid encounter with elephants

The Uganda Wildlife Authority has installed warning signs along the Karuma-Pakwach highway to alert drivers to potential elephant crossings. This initiative aims to enhance safety for both motorists and wildlife in areas where elephants frequently traverse the road. Drivers are advised to exercise caution and adhere to reduced speed limits in marked zones. The authority is implementing these measures to mitigate the risk of accidents involving elephants, which can be dangerous and fatal.

This effort is crucial for preventing wildlife-human conflicts and ensuring the safety of travelers on a road that intersects with elephant migration routes.
