Ajai Wildlife Reserve is located in northeastern Uganda in the west Nile region – Arua district. The reserve was first gazette in 1962 as a white rhino sanctuary and 1965 as a game reserve. The name of the reserve originated from a chief in the west Nile called Chief Ajai. He controlled the reserve in the 1930s until it was taken over in 1962 as a white rhino sanctuary. By that time, the reserve had over 60 to 80 white rhinos, which were hunted down by the poachers for the horns. In 1962, the anti-poaching project from world wildlife was fighting this poaching but it did not stop until the rhinos went into extinction.

In 2002, the government of Uganda had to cut off 12 kilometers of the total land of the reserve for human settlement leaving the reserve with 148 square kilometers. This affected the reserve tremendously. In 2008, the reserve was privatized to an organization. This organization only offers sport hunting and photography. There are fewer tourism activities in the reserve since the reserve is being conserved for future generations. Ajai Wildlife Reserve is made of swampy vegetation type, with a lot of the river deposits from the river Nile with its tributaries that is to say the Ala and Acha. More so, in the reserve, there are several swamp islands including the Ajai island formed by river depositions of the Ala River.
