The Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is run by Uganda Rhino Fund and Uganda Wildlife Authority. Uganda was a home of thousands of rhinos some years back and the main aim for establishing this Sanctuary was to restore the rhinoceros population in Uganda (Black and White ).

There are five species of rhino in the world- Two in Africa, three in Asia all endangered and the success of Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary will play the key role in the eventual re-introduction of rhino back into the wild in Uganda’s National Parks.
It is the only place in Uganda where you can see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. When the rhinos are mature, they are sent out to different national parks. Rhinos are slow breeders, giving birth to one calf every two to four years. These rhinos are the only wild rhinos in Uganda.

The sanctuary sits on 70 square Kilometers of land and it has electric fencing all around it for keeping the rhinos protected from ill motive of intruders.

1 Day trip Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary will give you an opportunity to see White Rhinos which are not found any where in East Africa and this will give you a memorable experience after your trek.
