Detailed Itinerary : 1 Day Rhino Tracking (Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary)

You will drive through the districts of Kampala and Luweero until you reach Nakasongola, the home of the Ziwa rhino sanctuary, which is located along the Kampala-Gulu highway. When you arrive at the rhino sanctuary, you will be greeted and briefed by highly experienced rangers who will also accompany you on the rhino tracking activity. The rangers will also walk you through the sanctuary’s tracking standards and history.

Several white rhinos will be visible in close proximity during the tracking exercise. Other animal species to look out for include bushbucks, reedbucks, monkeys, oribis, and birds like the shoebill stock. You will spend one hour up close and personal with rhinos, photographing them and learning about their habits.
