Where to Find the Big Five in Uganda

Uganda’s Big Five cannot be seen on a single reserve. However, you can see each of these great animals in many protected areas in the country.

Rhino Tracking at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary

The southern white rhino was once extinct in Uganda but has been reintroduced at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Here, you can participate in an exhilarating rhino tracking experience.

Savannah National Parks

The remaining members of the Big Five roam freely in Uganda’s expansive savannah parks. The best places to see the African Elephant, Lion, Leopard, and Cape Buffalo are Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, and Kidepo Valley National Park.

African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer)

Known for their unpredictable nature, African Buffalos are a formidable sight. They thrive in herds and are often found in the woods and river valleys of Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and Kidepo Valley National Parks.

African Elephant (Loxodonta Africana)

Leopard (Panthera Pardus)

Stealthy and elusive, leopards are adept at remaining unseen. However, you may see them in Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and Kidepo Valley National Parks, where these solitary predators prowl.
