Amazing Walking Safari in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Lugogo Wetlands, Uganda 2019 (4K Video)

In the end we were pushed back by five rhinos which came out of the bush and walked towards us! We got this everlasting memory from our walking safari to the white rhinos in Uganda. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is located near Murchison Falls National Park and is home to the only white rhinoceros population in Uganda. The sanctuary offers a protected place for the rhinos to grow and one day to be reintroduced in Uganda. The sanctuary is open to visitors for guided walking safaris which take place usually in the morning and afternoon. We had the chance to go on two walks and we had amazing rhino encounters on both of them. Late in the afternoon we found a group of five male rhinos grazing in the bush. We stayed with them for a while when suddenly they started walking towards us and we had to move back steadily to keep the distance. Finally we were pushed out of the bush and back to our car. After monitoring the situation for a while the rhinos changed direction and we could see them walking away. What an amazing encounter! We never expected this walk to be that exciting.

The next morning we went for an early birding excursion to the Lugogo Wetlands next to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The Lugogo Wetlands are home to the majestic shoebill and other birds, but the flat terrain makes it tricky to approach the birds stealthily. We ended our excursion with a picturesque canoe ride on one of the channels that runs through the Lugogo Wetlands. The channels are edged by Papyrus and the water is covered by hydrophytes.

Welcome to our walking safari to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and birding in Lugugo Wetlands in Uganda in August 2019. We stayed one night at the Amuka Safari Lodge.
