View My Blog HERE



















The big five back. In 2005, Rhino fund Uganda opened this private 70 sq Km. 170km northwest of Kampala, 23 after poachers shot the nation's last wild rhino. Half dozen southern white rhinos ( the northern white rhino oce found in Uganda is so close to extinction there's little hope of its survival). We saw some terrible pictures how people actually killed those rhinos and just took they horn sell them to china and middle east apparently good for health which is not true.
Eventually these magnifecent beast may also be reintroduced to murchison falls and Kidepo Valley National park. A guide will lead you on an up close encounter, either in your vehicle u need 4wd drive if it is rain. Once you reach the rhinos you finish your visit on foot. Reservation are rarely needed, but a good idea. Other animals living inside the two meter tall electric fence include Leopard, hippo,crocodile, Bush-back and oribi. It is worth to visit n give support to the community here.
