Visit Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary – Rhino Trekking Uganda Safaris

Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is the only place in Uganda where you can see wild rhinos in their natural habitat. Located en route to Murchison Falls National Park, Ziwa is home to over 30 southern white rhinos and offers guided rhino trekking experiences on foot—an unforgettable highlight of any Uganda rhino safari.

Guests can enjoy a Ziwa sanctuary tour led by expert rangers who ensure safety while bringing you up close to these majestic animals. In addition to rhinos, the sanctuary hosts over 300 bird species, including the rare shoebill stork, and other wildlife like antelopes and warthogs, making it a great spot for bird watching and nature walks.

Most Uganda safari packages include Ziwa as a stopover between Kampala and Murchison, making it an ideal addition to your Uganda safari tour. The rhino trekking experience typically lasts 1.5 to 2.5 hours and is suitable for all fitness levels. This is one of the few places in Africa where you can track rhinos safely on foot in the wild—a bucket-list experience for conservation-minded travelers.

🦏 Ziwa supports rhino reintroduction efforts in partnership with the Uganda Wildlife Authority, playing a key role in restoring Uganda’s Big Five status.
