Overview
Nestled in the rugged, semi-arid valleys between Uganda’s borders with Sudan and Kenya, Kidepo Valley National Park is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Established as a national park in 1962, it boasts a rich diversity of wildlife, with over 77 mammal species and approximately 475 bird species. The park’s varying altitude, ranging from 914m to 2,750m above sea level, is home to the Kidepo and Narus rivers, providing essential water sources that sustain its vibrant ecosystems. Kidepo stands as Uganda’s most remote national park, an oasis of natural beauty where pastoral Karamojong people and the endangered IK tribe coexist with remarkable wildlife. Journeying through the untamed Karamoja region to reach this pristine wilderness reveals the true magnificence of Kidepo, making it one of Africa’s finest destinations. The open savannah terrain and seasonal oases of the Narus Valley near Apoka provide prime game viewing opportunities during the dry season.
