Continue to the renowned Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for an exhilarating on-foot rhino tracking experience—the only place in Uganda where you can see these magnificent creatures in the wild. Then venture into the breathtaking Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest and most scenic national park, where the mighty Nile explodes through a narrow gorge at the iconic Murchison Falls.
