Had a wonderful rhino tour with All Seasons Adventures — smooth planning, friendly team, and a relaxed, enjoyable day overall. Seeing the rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was such a highlight. A fun and memorable experience I’d happily recommend!
My rhino-tracking trip organized by From All Seasons Tours and Travel to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The team at From All Seasons made the entire journey smooth and stress-free — from planning and transport to ensuring we were comfortable every step of the way. Their friendliness and attention to detail really stood out and made the experience feel personal and special. Seeing the rhinos up close in their natural habitat was deeply moving. Walking through the sanctuary with knowledgeable guides, learning about conservation, and watching these magnificent animals graze peacefully was a powerful and humbling experience. It reminded me just how precious wildlife is and how important it is to protect it. The whole trip felt well organized, safe, and meaningful. I walked away not just with beautiful photos, but with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for nature. I highly recommend From All Seasons Tours and Travel to anyone looking for an authentic, well-planned safari experience. This was more than just a trip — it was a soulful adventure I will always cherish
The guide was prompt for our pickup at the hotel. He was a wealth of knowledge and got us to Ziwa safely. We were lucky to find about 9 rhinos napping under a tree so we did not have to do much walking in the park. The ride home was an absolute nightmare, but has nothing to do with our guide. I suppose it was pretty typical Ugandan traffic.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that your guide was punctual, knowledgeable, and ensured you had a safe journey to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Sighting nine rhinos resting under a tree is truly special. We completely understand the traffic issue on your way back, unfortunately it is unpredictable and we truly appreciate your understanding of the situation and the kind note that it was beyond the guide’s control. Thanks again.
What an amazing and unforgettable experience. It was a long day with a 3 hour drive there and another three hours back (actually longer with traffic on the return) but totally worth it. We only trekked for about 20 minutes and found a nice family of eight rhinos. The guide let us stay there and take pictures and videos for as long as we wanted to. He even took a great video of me with the rhinos in the background. Absolutely awesome.
We’re thrilled to hear that the experience was unforgettable and worth the journey. Seeing a beautiful family of eight rhinos after just a short trek is truly special, and we’re so glad you had plenty of time to enjoy the moment, take photos, and capture those memories. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible review.
Such a cool experience seeing these animals in the wild and up close. I felt safe the entire time. I would recommend doing this!
Thank you for the amazing feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the close-up rhino experience and felt safe. That’s exactly what we strive for, and we can’t wait to have you join us for another adventure!
Observing rhinos at 20 meters without barriers and for as long as desired is an extraordinary experience that justifies the movement. I expected to be able to take a drive in the reserve to see other animals but it was not possible. The journey to and from Kampala was, however, horrendous with aggressive driving and no respect for limitations.
Fabulous encounter with the only Southern white rhino in Uganda. Setting off on foot with a ranger, you will find yourself within feet of these giants. Seeing a huge male as we came around a bush was a jaw dropping moment. It can be done as a looong day trip from Entebbe but the sensible way is as a stop on the way to Murchison Falls.
It was breathtaking to be close to the rhinos. I acknowledge and thank Simon Peter at the Ziwa Sanctuary, for tracking the rhinos with us, and for the insights and knowledge he shared. Most importantly, I am deeply grateful to Musah, for his professionalism, and for being a wonderful tour guide and driver, who safely took me there and back to Kampala. I thank the management of this tour company for also having Musah to take me to the Uganda National Mosque on the way back to Kampala. I highly appreciate Musah’s knowledge and expertise on Ugandan history and culture.
Thank you Denise for this wonderfully detailed review, we are really glad you enjoyed every bit of your day tour.
A really memorable day out with All Seasons Adventures Uganda to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The rhino trekking was peaceful, well-paced, and genuinely moving – amazing to see these animals in such a natural setting. The guides were calm, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe throughout. Very grateful to Musah, who organised everything so smoothly. He was thoughtful, professional, and a pleasure to travel with – nothing was too much trouble. He also arranged a fantastic trip for us the following day to visit both the equator and the source of the Nile in Jinja. Everything ran perfectly. Would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for a well-organised, relaxed way to see more of Uganda.
Thank you so much, Michael, for booking the rhino trek with us and following it up with the Jinja and equator tour. We are glad you enjoyed the experience with Musah and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Excellent! Very informative trek with the Rhino. We end ended up seeing 10 during our walk. Would highly recommend a trip to Ziwa.
We are so glad you enjoyed the rhino trek at Ziwa. Thank you Nancy for booking with us.
