Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary
An electric-fenced black rhino sanctuary in western Tsavo. With luck, you may see black rhinos at the observation waterhole.
Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary lies at the foot of Ngulia Hills in western Tsavo. Enclosed by an electric fence covering about 90 square km, it protects the eastern black rhinoceros. Inside the sanctuary is an observation waterhole, where rhinos often come to drink in the early morning and late afternoon. Black rhinos are shy, though, so spotting one depends largely on luck. Access hours are limited, usually to the afternoon, and you must enter in a vehicle. The Ngulia Hills nearby are famous as a bird-ringing site during the autumn migration.
