Shoebill canoe trips in the sanctuary's swamps.

How long should you stay?

Half a day is enough for rhino tracking.

When to go

All year.

Getting there

Ziwa is about 170 km from Kampala, around 3 hours by road, right on the road to Murchison Falls. The rhino tracking fee is paid per person at the sanctuary.

Local tip

Combine it with Murchison Falls: stop at Ziwa on the way and arrive at the park in the afternoon.
