The Rhinos in all national parks became extinct because of poaching for their horns and encroachment of their habitats. The Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was however setup by the Rhino Fund and the Uganda wildlife Authority, to protect the Rhinos, breed them and eventually re-introduce them to the national parks where they once existed.
The Ziwa Rhino sanctuary is in Nakasongola district, 176 Kilometres from Kampala. The drive from Kampala to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary lasts for 3 hours.
Rhino Population in the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
