Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary Day Trip

Your journey begins early in the morning with a scenic 3-hour drive from Kampala or Entebbe, heading north through lush countryside to Nakasongola District. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed by the sanctuary team and briefed by expert rangers before setting off on foot into the savannah. Accompanied by an armed guide, you'll quietly track and observe endangered southern white rhinos at an impressively close range often just 6 to 10 meters away. After an unforgettable hour or two with these majestic giants, enjoy a leisurely lunch at the on-site restaurant or picnic in the shade. In the afternoon, explore more of the sanctuary on a guided nature walk or take an optional canoe ride through the nearby swamp in search of the elusive shoebill stork. As the day winds down, relax on the return drive to Kampala, arriving in the early evening with your camera full and your heart fuller. This immersive experience is perfect for wildlife lovers with limited time, offering a rare opportunity to support conservation and witness Uganda's rhino rewilding efforts firsthand.
