TOUR OVERVIEW

1-Day Ziwa Rhino Ranch Tour

The rhinoceros is perhaps the most fascinating animal of the Big Five. In Uganda, you can see these rare animals at Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch. On this 1-day tour, you will explore the ranch together with a trained ranger. The experience begins with a short drive, followed by a guided walk once you get close to the rhinos. This allows you to observe them at a safe distance of just a few tens of meters, making it a truly special encounter. Ziwa is located about a 3-hour drive from Kampala or Entebbe. The ranch was created specifically to support the reintroduction of rhinos in Uganda. While you may also see smaller animals like antelopes, rhinos are the main highlight of the visit. The protected area covers about 70 square kilometers. It feels open and natural, with no visible fences in the main viewing areas. This gives the rhinos enough space to move freely, adapt to their environment, and live as they would in the wild.
