7-Day Kidepo Valley: Uganda's Hidden Wilderness

$750 pp

100% free. No obligations

Description

Embark on a seven-day journey to Uganda's hidden gem, Kidepo Valley National Park. This remote park, nestled in the rugged, semi-arid valleys between Uganda's borders with Sudan and Kenya, is a true wilderness. Kidepo is teeming with wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, and a variety of antelope species, and it's known for its unique bird species not seen elsewhere in Uganda. The park's isolation means fewer visitors and more intimate wildlife encounters. This safari also offers cultural experiences with the local Karamojong people, providing a glimpse into their traditional pastoral lifestyle. Kidepo Valley is an untamed, less-traveled destination, ideal for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure.
