Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary was opened in 2005 by the Rhino Fund Uganda after poachers and civil unrest had claimed the last batch of Rhinos in 1983. The Rhino Sanctuary is a breeding centre of hope for white Rhinos in Uganda. Currently, the Zziwa Sanctuary boasts of over 19 Rhinos many of which were born In Uganda.
