Highlights
- Kidepo Valley is maybe the only national park left in the whole continent where you can have the park all by
yourself. We believe that safari's in this park must be like safari's in Kenya 35 years ago! The great savanna
landscapes and the mountains on the background make you feel like being at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
at the same time.
- If you go for bush camping you have a good chance of being visited by lions and jackal. If you meet more than
3 different cars on one day you're unlucky! Kidepo hosts as well most animal species of all national parks in
Uganda, including lion,giraffe, elephant, buffalo, leopard, ostrich and cheetah.
- 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 mammals as well as around 475 birds

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. During your Safaris you will stay inApokalodge in the heart of the park, a savannah
landscape extends far beyond the gazetted area, towards horizons outlined by distant mountain ranges.
