Classic Uganda tour to Kidepo Valley

5 Days

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. If you seek an unforgettable African adventure, look no further. Book your classic Uganda safari with primates today and experience the allure of Kidepo Valley National Park.

Other Information

Do I need a visa and passport to travel to Uganda?

A visa is required when travelling to Uganda from the United States and Canada. Currently, you must apply for it online prior to travel as you will be asked for a barcoded email upon arrival. A valid passport is mandatory and must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of expected departure from Uganda.

When is the best time to travel to Uganda?

The best time to visit Uganda is between June and September as this is the dry season. However, temperatures are warm year-round due to its proximity to the equator.

Is Uganda a family-friendly destination?

Family visitors can view wildlife on a safari or trekking experience, enjoy a boat cruise, or complete a cultural visit. There is truly something for everyone in the family in Uganda. Adventurous travel awaits people of all ages, although you should be aware that trekking requires a certain level of physical fitness.

What if any vaccinations are required or suggested for travel to Uganda?

A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate or waiver is required for all travellers one year of age and older. The vaccination requirement is imposed by this country for protection against Yellow Fever since the principal mosquito vector Aedes aegypti is present in its territory. There are no other compulsory vaccinations required for Uganda, however, we recommend you consult with your local travel clinic for the most up-to-date recommendations, particularly in regard to malaria prophylactics.
