Vehicles

Our vehicles

We use closed 4WD's, typically Toyota Landcruisers with a pop-top roof. For fly-in safaris, a combination of light aircraft and open-sided 4WD's with a sun canopy, are used. Open-sided 4WD's vehicles offer greater visibility and provide unobstructed photography opportunities in all directions.

All our safaris are carried out by 4x4 Landcruisers.

Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch

Your Ugandan safari starts here and now. With all of the incredible wildlife that this country has to offer, we know that you're keen to get started. And as soon as we introduce you to your guide and answer your questions, we'll get you out there exploring.

The thrilling opportunity to track rhinos on foot is the main attraction of Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch, a non-profit organization that protects 7,000ha of dense African bush also inhabited by a wide variety of antelope, small mammals and birds. Starting with six animals relocated from outside Uganda in 2005–6, the white rhinos of Ziwa have now bred up to more than 40 individuals. The long-term plan is to reintroduce rhinos into national parks where they are now locally extinct, but for now, Ziwa is the only place in Uganda where you can see Africa's second-bulkiest land mammal in the wild.

Rhino tracking, Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch

Few wildlife-viewing activities are as exciting as tracking white rhinos in Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch. You'll probably use a combination of driving and walking to locate these prehistoric creatures. But once you find them, viewing usually takes place on foot. This means you'll get a really good feel for how huge Africa's second-largest land animal actually is. As you explore the ranch, you should also see plenty of antelope, monkeys and birds.

Murchison Falls National Park

Described as the most exciting thing to happen to the Nile along its 6,000km journey from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean, the 43m-high Murchison Falls is also the centerpiece of Uganda's largest and oldest national park. Here you might encounter four of the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo), along with the world's largest population of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, and several types of antelope and monkey. Particularly noteworthy among 550-odd recorded bird species are the hulking great shoebill and Abyssinian ground hornbill, and the beautifully marked and very localized white-crested turaco and red-headed lovebird.
