A little About Rhino Tracking In Uganda
Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary was opened in 2005 by the Rhino Fund Uganda after poachers and civil unrest had claimed the last batch of Rhinos in 1983. The Rhino Sanctuary is a breeding center of hope for white Rhinos in Uganda. Currently, the Zziwa Sanctuary boasts of over 19 Rhinos many of which were born In Uganda. There is a plan to re-introduce them back to Murchison Falls National Park & far-flung Kidepo Valley National Park. Travelers Tracking Rhinos at Zziwa contribute to the long-term conservation of these endangered animals.
