Wonderful experience visiting Rhino's in the Ziwa sanctuary. Located 3-4 hours drive from Kampala. Multiple lodges nearby to stay in. We saw 6 rhino's total and 5 of them were active. Guide was good (bring some cash to tip him with you on the walk) but our group size was a bit too big (12-16) and a few of them had missed the briefing which meant they weren't walking as directed (single file) and kept talking loudly. Most of the other groups were 6-8 so perhaps ours was an exception.

This place is amazing! The rhinos aren’t aggressive so you can’t get very close to them. I recommend not spending the night as there is nothing to do and the animals don’t really come close. We did the night walk and it was over at the lodge so we literally saw nothing. For a stop on the way to Murchison Falls or a day trip, it is well worth it!

Stoped in on our way from Murchison Falls to Kampala. It was a bit of an afterthought however it is well worth the stop and it is right on the way. We were greeted with a cold fruit juice drink and after paying the park entrance fee we proceed to the staging area. Here we placed our lunch order and met our guide. He gave us a quick run-down of what was going to happen and how we needed to act so as to not disturb the rhinos. Then we got in our car and followed our guide to the area the rhinos were. After a very short walk through the bush we were able to see several Rhinos up close which was amazing. I think what stood out for us was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and above that had some good jokes that kept us laughing. We also had lunch at the restaurant which had a decent selection in line with other restaurants in Uganda. Food was good and the service was great!

We had a trek at ziwa to see the wild Rhinos. We were lucky enough to observe a mother and baby going about their everyday life. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and with his guidance allowed us to get incredibly close to these gentle giants.

The rhino trekking was incredible. We were looked after by a friendly and knowledgeable guide from start to finish. We spent ages watching the rhinos and were lucky to see so many. The guide was really nice and answered all of our questions and we felt very safe. The food is great and the service was amazing, you can see the Ugandan crane whilst eating too and watch other animals. A must visit!!
