Kidepo Valley National Park lies in the extreme northeast of Uganda, bordering South Sudan and Kenya. This 1,442 square kilometre park is regularly cited as one of the most beautiful in all of Africa, with its dramatic valleys, mountain backdrops, and vast savannah plains.
Kidepo’s remoteness has protected it from overdevelopment, and it supports wildlife species found nowhere else in Uganda: cheetah, ostrich, striped hyena, and the greater and lesser kudu. The park also has healthy populations of lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, and giraffes.
The Karamojong pastoralists who live near the park add cultural interest, and their traditional kraals can be visited. Kidepo offers a genuine frontier safari experience for those willing to make the journey.
