This company made this a wonderful and easy day! Ronnie was my guide/driver and he was great. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable, plus a very safe driver. It was so great to get close to these amazing animals. Ruth was very communicative and answered every question I had promptly. I couldn't be happier with the experience.

This place was really fantastic. You go out in the park by vehicle with trained rangers who then have you trek with them on foot to see the rhinos. We were within 50 yds of several of these animals and just watched them walking and eating. Hard to imagine you could do this kind of thing.

Netter und pünktlicher Fahrer hat mich abgeholt.
Dort in kleiner Gruppe von einem segr kompetenten und freundlichem Guide Einführung bekommen und nach einem recht kurzen Spaziergang konnten wir tasächlich auch Nashorn- Familien stoßen, die in faszinierend kurzem Abstand von uns gebadet und gefressen haben , wir konnten sogar das Nashorn- Baby piepsen hören, weil es Hunger hatte und dann beim Säugen beobachten!
Obwohl wir so nah waren, fühlte ich mich jede Sekunde sicher durch unseren achtsamen Guide. wirklich sehr sehr beeindruckend und unterstützenswert!!
Einzig das Mittagessen hatte ich mir etwas anders vorgestellt: Nach Wieder - Zurückkunft beim Auto hatte es der Fahrer von East African Jungle safaris sehr eilig, das Gelände zu verlassen. Mittaggegessen wurde dann nicht dort, sondern unterwegs in einem Local an der Strasse, wo er wohl die Besitzer kannte.
Insgesamt aber eine unbedingt empfehlenswerte Tagesreise!

My wife and I recently completed the 1 Day Ziwa Rhino Tracking experience with East African Jungle Safaris and honestly they exceeded all our expectations. Tracking rhinos on foot was a completely different experience than watching wildlife in a car, as it created a much deeper connection with nature. The best moment was standing quietly and observing a group of rhinos grazing nearby. It was peaceful, emotional and surprisingly calming. Our guide explained the behavior of the rhinos and shared many interesting facts about conservation work in Uganda. It was really special and peaceful day.
