Rhino Trekking in Uganda only takes place at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. It is no secret that it is becoming one of the most popular safari experiences in Uganda. The Ziwa Rhino sanctuary currently is home to twenty-two southern white rhinos, the sanctuary offers rhino trekking, shoebill trekking, canoeing, bird watching, and night walks.
Besides tracking rhinos at the sanctuary, visitors may also spot a range of other species including Uganda kobs, oribis, bushbucks, and waterbucks. The prehistoric-looking shoebill stork is one of the most sought after birds in Uganda, and the sanctuary is one of the only places where they can almost always be seen. Visitors can see over 300 bird species along bird trails through the woodlands, swamps, and savannah.

The main areas of the drive are the Delta, Buligi Peninsula, and the southern section which is known as the heart of Murchison.

This grassland is bound by the Victoria Nile entering Lake Albert with the Albert Nile flowing out of it. Lions, leopards, and water birds along with hippos can also be spotted here. Much of the southern part is populated with dense bush and forest, where lions and giraffes can also be seen.
