On this 1 Day Rhino Tracking Tour to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, we leave Kampala at 6:00 am right after an early breakfast for a 3 hour drive North of Kampala off the Kampala – Gulu highway to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Nakasongola District in Nakitooma Village. The trip is through the countryside passing homesteads and various roadside vegetable and fruit markets.

On arrival at the sanctuary, you will be briefed by a ranger guide about the history and on how to behave while on this Rhino trek. It is very critical that you heed to the ranger’s instructions while on the trek because Rhinos can be aggressive if they sense a need to defend themselves. Depending on the location of the Rhinos, you may need to drive closer to their location before you start the trek to reduce on the distance. Once you locate the Rhinos, you can stay a maximum of one hour in their presence. Sometimes different families are within distance of each other, in which case you will get an opportunity to visit more than one group, Capture pictures, learn their behaviors and return from your foot walk experience. The Rhino search is a 2-3 hour trek into the wild Sanctuary giving you a chance to view Rhinos at a close but safe distance. You also have a chance of sighting other animal on this nature walk if lucky like the Waterbucks, Bushbucks, Gazelles, Antelopes, primates such as Colobus and Vervet monkeys, duikers, Mongoose and many different bird species. After your Rhino trek, return to the Restaurant for a warm lunch and drinks, relax and later, drive back to Kampala or Entebbe for a drop off to your hotel or place of residence.
