Get ready to see fruits, roasted meat/chicken, and roasted cassava sold along the roadside or brought right up to your car window. Ziiwa Rhino Sanctuary. You will pass through Luweero district, which was once a war zone, ending with the current regime's assumption of power. Along the way, as you are about to reach Murchison Falls, you will stop over and branch to track black and white rhinos at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The sanctuary was set up in 2005 to breed and later introduce rhinos to Uganda’s major game parks.
