Rhino Tracking in Uganda
Discover rhino tracking in Uganda with Bush Shrike Adventures. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is a well-known destination where visitors can track white rhinos on foot under the guidance of trained rangers and learn about rhino conservation. You can also enquire about rhino tracking opportunities at Ajai Game Reserve, an emerging destination for rhino conservation in Uganda. Rhino tracking can be combined with a Murchison Falls safari or other northern Uganda adventures. Activities and sightings depend on the destination, current arrangements and ranger guidance.
Where to Track Rhinos in Uganda
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is Uganda’s established destination for rhino tracking on foot. Accompanied by trained rangers, visitors can observe southern white rhinos in a protected environment while learning about their behaviour and conservation. The experience is a wonderful addition to a Murchison Falls safari and offers a memorable opportunity to discover Uganda’s wildlife.
Ajai Wildlife Reserve
Located in Uganda’s West Nile region, Ajai Wildlife Reserve is an important part of the country’s rhino conservation programme. In January 2026, southern white rhinos were reintroduced to the reserve after decades of absence, marking a significant milestone in restoring Uganda’s wildlife heritage. The programme aims to establish a new rhino population in northern Uganda and support future conservation-led tourism.
Ajai is an emerging conservation destination. Travellers interested in visiting should confirm current access and rhino-viewing arrangements with the relevant authorities before making plans.
