In unspoiled bush country, Rhino fund Uganda is breeding a new rhino population. Rhinos became vanished in Uganda in the early 1980’s. In the years to come, rhinos will be rehabilitated in their original environment in Uganda’s protected areas. Situated some 170 kms North- West of Kampala on Gulu high way to Murchison falls National Park, Ziwa rhino sanctuary gives its visitors peace and harmony in stunning surroundings. The 70 sq km sanctuary is a residence to only wild rhinos in Uganda.
