Trip Overview

The 4-Day Kidepo Tour explores Kidepo Valley National Park. It is a flying safari because of the long drive distances to the park. It would take over 10 hours to drive from Kampala to Kidepo Valley National Park. Even when coming from other safari destinations like Murchison Falls National Park it is still a long drive. That is why most people prefer to fly directly to Kidepo Valley National Park.

The park is located in Northeastern Uganda and it is Uganda's most isolated park. Kidepo is very diverse with big cats including lions, leopards, and cheetahs. The leopards and cheetahs are rarely seen but if lucky you can spot all three big cats. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, and jackals are other notable safari animals you will see in Kidepo. Kidepo is among the only two destinations in Uganda with Zebras alongside Lake Mburo National Park. The park and Pian Upe Reserve are also the only places with cheetahs in Uganda.

Kidepo Valley National Park has the highest buffalo population in Uganda. Buffaloes here are many that sometimes they are likened to the wildebeest numbers in Serengeti National Park. You will a number of these while on game drives on the different trails in the park. On this 4-Day Kidepo Tour, you will also visit the Karamjong community. The Karamjong are among the few Ugandan people who hold their African traditional values and customs.

A visit to the community will give you an insight and a better understanding of the people here. You will interact and get entertained by the traditional dances. You will also enjoy a guided nature walk while on this 4-Day Kidepo Tour.
