About Kidepo National Park

"Kidepo Valley National Park is one of the most isolated national parks in Uganda. But, this is what makes it the perfect place to view the unspoiled wilderness of Africa.

Plan your safari here for a wild adventure. The Apoka Safari Lodge, Kidepo Savannah Lodge, and Nga’Moru Wilderness Camp provide exceptional starting points for excursions. Take the trails for a bit of bird-watching, and to catch a glimpse of some of the extinct wildlife that here. Some can’t be found in any other Ugandan national park.

Tourists might also like to visit with the Karamojong tibe, an indigenous community that lives within the Kidepo National Park boundaries. They were once a nomadic tribe, but have since settled in more permanent homes. The Karamojong were herdsmen, following the animals. Listen to the stories of survival in the African wild and experience the tribe lifestyle."
