Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary

The only place in Uganda to see wild rhinos. A conservation project working to reintroduce white rhinos to Uganda's national parks.

About the Region

Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is a 70-square-kilometre fenced sanctuary in Nakasongola District, about halfway between Kampala and Murchison Falls. It was established in 2005 by the Rhino Fund Uganda and Uganda Wildlife Authority to breed southern white rhinos with the long-term goal of reintroducing them into Uganda's national parks.

Visitors can go on guided rhino tracking walks to see the rhinos on foot — a rare and memorable experience. The sanctuary also supports shoebill storks, various antelope species, and over 300 bird species. It is a popular stop for travellers en route to Murchison Falls.
