Are you a fun of the Africa Big Five Animals? Here is a chance in Uganda to meet one of them in just a tour stopover. All Uganda Rhinos are found here though most tourists to Uganda visit this sanctuary as a stopover destination either to or from Murchison falls national park. In most cases no wildlife trip to Murchison falls ends without to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Tourists get a chance to take nice Rhino photo shots and also walk through their natural home as they learn and understand more about their daily life and behavior.
Some even donate to the fund for more conservation of these unique animals. I would recommend you to track them all through the savanna on foot and shares impressive expertise of these animals with experienced guides but remember to bring insect repellents, Bottled water and snacks as cutesy though you can buy eats from the sanctuary restaurant, light long sleeved shirt, comfortable walking shoes, Sun screen since the walk takes two hours in the savanna vegetation plus swamps. Don’t forget to make roadside stops the while on a Uganda safari holiday or the next time you hit the road in the pearl of Africa.
