1 Day Ziwa Rhino Sancuary Tour

1 Day Ziwa Rhino Sancuary Tour

On this one day tour, we leave Kampala at 7 am right after an early breakfast for the 3 hour drive to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The plan is to get to Ziwa before it is too hot and therefore Rhinos choose resting instead of feeding. The trip is through the countryside passing homesteads and various roadside vegetable and fruit markets.
