Tour High Light
Kidepo Valley ranks among Africa’s finest wildernesses (also voted 3rd best National park in Africa by CNN Traveller in 2013). Enjoy a truly African safari of yesteryear in Kidepo National park, a park with a profusion of game and ornitho-life.
Day 1 Kidepo Valley National Park
We will transfer to Entebbe Airport, for our scheduled flight to Kidepo Valley National Park. Depart Entebbe at 1230pm arriving Kidepo at 1445pm. Kidepo Valley National Park lies in the rugged, semi-arid valleys between Uganda’s borders with Sudan and Kenya, some 700km from Kampala. Gazetted as a national park in 1962, it has a profusion of big game and hosts over 77 mammal species as well as around 475 bird species. The park boasts an extensive bird list of around 475 species, making it second only in Uganda to Queen Elizabeth National Park. A few species of note are the Ostrich, Kori Bustard and Karamoja Apalis.
Kidepo is notable for its birds of prey. Of the 56 species recorded, 14 – including Verreaux’s Eagle, Egyptian Vulture and Pygmy Falcon – are believed to be endemic to the Kidepo and Karamoja region.
Kidepo is Uganda’s most isolated national park, but the few who make the long journey north through the wild frontier region of Karamoja would agree that it is also the most magnificent, for Kidepo ranks among Africa’s finest wildernesses (also voted 3rd best National park in Africa by CNN Traveller in 2013). From Apoka, in the heart of the park, a savannah landscape extends far beyond the gazetted area, towards horizons outlined by distant mountain ranges.
