Rhinos

Ziwa was set up to conserve the African White Rhino. It’s why we’re here. There are a lot of other amazing wildlife species that live in the ranch. But the opportunity to see these amazing animals so close is what makes it so special here. Here are a few of our favourite rhino photos.

the Ranch

Ziwa was first established in 1983 as a cattle ranch. However, in 2005 it introduced some white rhinos to help re-introduce rhinos into Uganda. Here’s a few photos to help you get a feel for the ranch and its surroundings…
