Exploring Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary with Kurikayo Africa Adventures. If you’re looking to experience Uganda’s wildlife in a truly unforgettable way, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary should be on your list. Located about 180 kilometers north of Kampala, this sanctuary is the only place in Uganda where you can see wild rhinos up close. With Kurikayo Africa Adventures as your guide, your visit becomes even more memorable, safe, and educational.

Why Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is Special

Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was established to reintroduce southern white rhinos into Uganda, where they had previously gone extinct due to poaching and civil unrest. Today, it’s home to over 30 rhinos roaming freely in a protected area of over 7,000 hectares.

But it’s not just about rhinos. The sanctuary is also a haven for over 300 bird species, reptiles, and other wildlife like antelopes and warthogs. The lush savannah and wetlands make it a peaceful and scenic destination for nature lovers.

What to Expect on the Rhino Trek

One of the main activities at Ziwa is rhino trekking. With a professional guide from the sanctuary and an experienced tour guide from Kurikayo Africa Adventures, you’ll walk through the bush on foot to track rhinos in their natural habitat.

This isn’t a zoo experience — it’s the wild. You’ll be guided safely through the terrain, learning about rhino behavior, conservation efforts, and how the rangers monitor the animals daily.

The thrill of watching a two-ton rhino grazing just a few meters away is something you won’t soon forget.

Bird Watching and Nature Walks

Ziwa is also a fantastic place for bird watching, with species like the rare shoebill stork often spotted in the swamps. Kurikayo Africa Adventures can help arrange early morning or late afternoon walks to catch the best sightings.

You can also take part in guided nature walks to explore the sanctuary’s diverse ecosystem beyond the rhinos.
