Good for
seeing rhinos on foot

The only place in Uganda where you can see rhinos in the wild. By the early 1980s there were none left in the country. The herd at Ziwa started with six rhinos and has grown slowly ever since, guarded by rangers day and night.

We set out on foot with a ranger, following tracks through the bush until we find them grazing, often with birds riding on their backs. It is quiet and slow, and the rangers keep us at a safe distance the whole time.

Ziwa sits on the road between Murchison Falls and Kampala, so it makes an easy stop on the way back to Entebbe.
