KIDEPO VALLEY NATIONAL PARK
Kidepo Valley National Park is a 1,442 square kilometers national park in the Karamoja region in northeast Uganda. Kidepo is rugged savannah, dominated by the 2,750 metres Mount Morungole and transected by the Kidepo and Narus rivers. It is one of those Out of the Ordinary places in East Africa if not all of Africa and if you love the African Wilderness, this park is for you and a must for you to do and see.
Kidepo Valley Park is a magnificent, remote and out of the ordinary African Wildlife Park where you can experience Africa as it was 50 years ago. We are always on the lookout for new experiences like the enriching cultural experiences with the Karamojong and the IK People who live near the park. The drive (12-Hours) takes a lot of time due to the distance from Kampala. The more scenic route from Sipi Falls to Kidepo Parks breaks up the journey and you are driving through Karamoja which is quite interesting.
The Park has stunning scenery which simply takes your breath away. It is just you and a stillness only broken by the cry from the wild. The sounds of the winds sweeping through the valley.
