3 Days Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary Safaris 2026/2027/2028

The 3 Days Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary Safaris 2026/2027/2028 is a short yet highly rewarding Uganda wildlife tour designed for travelers seeking an authentic safari experience anchored in rhino tracking on foot. Located along the route to Murchison Falls National Park, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is the only place in Uganda where you can safely track endangered southern white rhinos in their natural habitat. This immersive safari offers exceptional wildlife viewing, birdwatching, guided nature walks, and conservation-focused experiences that directly support Uganda’s rhino reintroduction efforts.

Unlike typical game drives, this tour allows guests to walk close—just meters away—from these majestic animals under ranger supervision, making it one of the most exhilarating and eco-friendly safari activities in East Africa. The sanctuary is also home to antelopes, monkeys, hippos, over 300 bird species, and vibrant wetland ecosystems, making it ideal for nature photographers.

Travelers can combine this safari with Murchison Falls or Kidepo Valley extensions for an extended Uganda holiday, similar to our 6-Day Uganda Wildlife Safari Tour or 7-Day Uganda Big Five Safari packages. Ziwa’s unique conservation model positions it as a must-visit attraction for wildlife lovers seeking meaningful encounters and sustainable tourism experiences in Uganda.
