Description
Embark on a day trip to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Enjoy a guided walking tour of the sanctuary with a ranger to get up close and learn about the conservation efforts to protect the rhinos from extinction.
Embark on a 1-day Rhino Trekking Tour to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Track the endangered White Rhinos that were re-introduced to the sanctuary for conservation. Enjoy a day trip that provides the opportunity to track and observe Uganda’s only White Rhino population on foot within the sanctuary.
Depart from Kampala and head to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The sanctuary offers a secure place where rhino populations can be expanded by breeding, protected from human and non-human predators, and gradually re-introduced into Uganda’s national parks.
At the same time, the public can enjoy these majestic animals. The sanctuary also provides a haven for a healthy population of smaller game species, notably the beautiful bushbuck, and an abundance of wetland birdlife, including the rare and elusive shoebill stork.
Tracking and viewing the rhinos usually involves a short drive from the Sanctuary headquarters followed by 1.5 to 2 hours of walking and viewing with a ranger. The total activity time will vary according to where the rhinos are currently situated within the sanctuary but you will be able to enjoy an hour in the close vicinity of the rhinos once found.
Have lunch en route before heading back to Kampala for your drop off.
