Official visitor information ↗

The sanctuary was established as part of efforts to reintroduce rhinos to Uganda after their disappearance from the country’s wild population. Its conservation work depends on protected habitat, monitoring and responsible tourism. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

The sanctuary’s main attraction is its rhino population, alongside birds and other wildlife in a mixed savannah and wetland landscape. Seeing rhinos depends on their location and the conditions of the visit. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Rhino tracking is conducted on foot with trained sanctuary guides. Birdwatching and other nature experiences may also be offered; visitors must follow guide instructions at all times. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Book or confirm tracking arrangements, age rules, fees and operating times directly with the sanctuary. Wear closed shoes, follow safety briefings and never approach wildlife independently. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
