Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch is the proud home of the only white rhinos in Uganda. Located in Nakasongola district, not only can you find rhinos, but a wide variety of bird species and other wildlife. The wildlife ranch has become a popular destination for tourists looking for adventure. We offer Rhino trekking, birding tours, nature hikes, night-time nature walks and a shoebill trek & canoe ride.
The ranch offers a bar and restaurant where we serve cold drinks and delicious home cooked meals. And if you’re looking to stay overnight, you can choose between our campsite or one of our guest houses.
Ziwa was finally established in 2005. Its goal was to re-introduce southern white rhinos back to their natural habitat in the environs of Murchison Falls. Initially, 6 southern white rhinos were introduced to the ranch. At the start of 2023, the total has risen to 34 rhinos, and we are expecting that number to grow.
Our mission is to reintroduce these majestic creatures back into the wild. We want to see them roaming the plains in their natural habitat, as they have done in days gone by! The project has been a collaborative effort between the Uganda Wildlife Authority (the custodians of the species) and Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch Limited. Together, we want to see rhinos introduced into other national parks throughout Uganda, roaming the land with other wildlife species.
