A safari to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, currently the only place in Uganda to see rhino, following the species' complete disappearance from the wild in the country decades ago.
Uganda's wild rhino population was wiped out by the 1980s due to poaching and civil conflict. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was established to reintroduce and breed southern white rhino in a secured, monitored environment, with the eventual goal of returning rhino to Uganda's national parks. It's currently the only place in the country to see this species.
