5 Days Kidepo Morungole & Game Drive Safari

Kidepo Valley National Park Safari

Consider booking this 5-day vacation to Kidepo Valley National Park to see one of Africa’s most untamed landscapes. The Kidepo wilderness is exactly what most people picture when they envisage an African safari: golden savannah grasslands alive with numerous wild animals, craggy terrain stretching into the distance, and magical sunsets. It is not surprising that Kidepo National Park has continuously been listed among Africa’s top parks in prestigious travel journals. In 2013, CNN Travel ranked Kidepo National Park as the finest park in Africa with the best landscape and great buffalo herds.
The most remote safari park in Uganda is Kidepo Valley National Park, which is situated far away in the semi-arid region of northeastern Uganda. No other park in Uganda offers the stunningly rocky topography and semi-arid flora of Kidepo. Ostriches, cheetahs, bat-eared foxes, caracals, and aardwolves are just a few of the animals and birds that are only found in Kidepo Park in Uganda. On the safari, you may also see zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, hyenas, lions, leopards, waterbucks, and other animals in Kidepo Valley National Park.
