Then your driver will stop at the rhino sanctuary and head into the park where the rest of your adventure awaits you. Kidepo Valley and Murchison Falls National Park once hosted both black and white rhinos; however widespread poaching during the Idi Amin era resulted in the disappearance of these majestic animals from the wild.
