Description

Begin your adventure with a morning departure from Kampala, heading northwest on the Gulu Highway towards Murchison Falls National Park. Enjoy the scenic drive, passing by local homesteads, village lifestyles, and bustling roadside markets. Upon arrival at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, receive a briefing from your ranger guide. Depending on the rhinos' location, drive closer to cut the distance before starting your trek. Walk through the bush to safely view the rhinos grazing up close, spending about an hour in their presence. After the trek, enjoy lunch at the sanctuary's on-site restaurant. Then, embark on a canoe ride to encounter the shoebill stork in its natural swamp habitat. Spot approximately 8 birds on an average canoe ride. Conclude your visit with a nature walk, guided through the sanctuary's paths to experience the sights and sounds of nature. Keep an eye out for a variety of birds, including the African black crake, broad-billed roller, African black-headed oriole, bronze mannikin, African blue flycatcher, brown-backed scrub-robin, and African broadbill.
