Rhinos were mostly found in Murchison falls national park
and Kidepo national park. But with the wars in 1970’s, they were extinct
through poaching and currently, they are only in Ziwa rhino sanctuary. Tourists
en route to Murchison falls national park for wildlife tour always make a one
hour stop over to track the rhinos before proceeding to the park.
The government has a future plan to re-introduce the rhinos
in the parks once they breed a good number of them.
Angie Genade the
executive director of the Rhino Fund Uganda noted that this newly born Rhino
came months just after the recent birth of “Malaika” calf on 2nd July, 2011 and
added that it’s a blessing to Uganda’s conservation society as she is the only
country worldwide with such an advancement in Rhino conservation.
Wildlife tours generate more foreign exchange in the tourismindustry in Uganda, only second to Gorilla tracking tours which is done in
Bwindi Impenetrable national park and Mgahinga national park
