Itinerary

Day 1: Kampala to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to Kampala

Begin your adventure with an early breakfast at 6:00 AM before embarking on a scenic 3-hour drive north along the Gulu Highway to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda where you can track wild Southern White Rhinos. Located in Nakasongola, near Murchison Falls National Park, the sanctuary spans 7,000 hectares and is home to 22 rhinos, offering a rare opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by experienced rangers who will conduct a briefing session, providing essential guidelines and safety instructions for the tracking experience. The rhino tracking adventure will then commence on foot, allowing you to spend up to an hour observing these endangered animals as they roam, graze, and interact with their environment. Depending on their location, you may also visit multiple rhino groups within the sanctuary.

The best time for tracking is in the morning, before temperatures rise, ensuring optimal chances of spotting the rhinos while they are most active. Along the way, you may also encounter other wildlife such as antelopes, bushbucks, and a variety of bird species that thrive in the sanctuary.

After completing the rhino trek, you will have a short break before driving back to Kampala, arriving in the evening.
