Rhino Tracking

Rhino tracking in Uganda offers an unforgettable chance to encounter one of Africa’s most iconic species on foot. Guided by skilled rangers, this immersive experience takes you through the dense bush of Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in East Africa where you can track rhinos in the wild—up close and on foot.

Located in Nakitoma, along the Gulu highway en route to Murchison Falls, the sanctuary covers nearly 17,300 acres (7,000 hectares) and is home to over 32 southern white rhinos. These powerful yet graceful animals roam freely in a protected environment designed to support their reintroduction to Uganda’s wild landscapes.

As you quietly trek through the sanctuary, you’ll also encounter a diverse array of wildlife, from antelopes, monkeys, and hippos to crocodiles basking near wetlands. With over 300 bird species and a variety of indigenous flora, the experience is equally rewarding for birders, nature lovers, and conservation enthusiasts.

Whether you’re on your way to Murchison Falls or seeking a unique conservation encounter, rhino tracking at Ziwa delivers a thrilling and humbling experience, bringing you face-to-face with giants of the wild in their natural habitat.
