Day 01
Rhino Tracking at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
- Early in the morning, after breakfast, your driver-guide will pick you up at 7:00 am from the agreed point or your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe. You will be briefed about the 1-day rhino trekking trip before embarking on a 3-hour drive to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
- You will drive through the districts of Kampala and Luweero until you reach Nakasongola district, home to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, located along the Kampala-Gulu Highway. Upon arrival at the sanctuary, you will be welcomed and further briefed by highly trained rangers who will guide you through the rhino tracking activity. The rangers will also share the history of the sanctuary and explain the tracking guidelines.
- During tracking, you will see several white rhinos in very close proximity and may also spot other animal species. The sanctuary is home to at least 40 mammal and reptile species, including monkeys, antelopes, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, numerous bird species such as the shoebill stork, and other reptiles. You will have the opportunity to take photos and ask questions about rhinos and wildlife at large.
- The tracking activity lasts for about 2 hours, depending on the location of the rhinos, as tracking is done on foot.
- After the rhino tracking experience at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, return to meet your driver and transfer to Kabalega Dinners for lunch and relaxation before beginning the journey back to Kampala, Entebbe, or your preferred drop-off point.
