🌍✨Walk with Giants: A Rhino Safari Adventure at Ziwa Sanctuary🦏
Step into the wild and witness one of Africa’s most incredible conservation success stories! At Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Uganda’s only home to wild rhinos, you can trek on foot just meters away from majestic southern white rhinos. These gentle giants, weighing up to 3 tons, once roamed freely across Uganda but were tragically wiped out by poaching by the 1980s . Today, thanks to relentless efforts by Rhino Fund Uganda and local communities, their thunderous footsteps are echoing again across the savanna.
Why this experience is UNREAL:
🔹Close Encounters: Guided by expert rangers, walk silently through the bush to observe rhinos grazing, resting, or even napping (yes, they snore!).
🔹Conservation in Action: From just 6 rhinos in 2005, Ziwa now has over 30 thriving individuals—a beacon of hope for reintroducing them to Uganda’s national parks.
🔹Beyond Rhinos: Spot Rothschild giraffes, zebras, and 300+ bird species, including the rare shoebill stork.
The Story of Uganda’s Rhinos:
In the 1970s, war and poaching erased Uganda’s rhinos from the wild. But in 2005, Ziwa Sanctuary began a bold mission: importing rhinos from Kenya and the U.S., breeding them under 24/7 armed protection, and nurturing a new generation. Now, names like “Obama” (born to a Kenyan dad and American mom!) symbolize this rebirth. The goal? To one day release these rhinos into parks like Murchison Falls and Kidepo Valley, restoring ecosystems and rewilding Uganda.
