KIDEPO VALLEY NATIONAL PARK

Africa’s Magnificent Wilderness
Kjong Safaris Uganda offers you an ultimate wilderness safari to Kidepo Valley National Park which is listed among Africa’s best 10 parks. You know you’re in Kidepo when you start staring at the rolling Savannah grasslands and the soaring mountains loomed in a distance, standing atop the hill truly glimpsing at the gorgeous Narus valley while wiggling your toes in the warm dry grasses with that wild remote feel which is too hard to resist. Looking down at the largest single herd of buffaloes mowing down the grasses, watching the males use their bone shield horns to fight for dominance. Yes! This is indeed Africa’s magnificent wilderness, and you just got there!

Stride slowly with our tour guide to one of the remote campsites which are situated atop the hill, fully equipped and supplied with firewood, which have a number of open thatched buildings with reliable network providing shade, shelter, water and clean drop toilets. Have a ranger find you a spot with incredible views across the Narus valley where you can also watch the sunset while relaxing in your comfort zone after the 13 hour trip from Kampala which was totally worth it.
Kidepo is at it's best for wilderness lovers, wake up and watch the sun rise in a distance, jump in a car  with our tour guide and go for a couple of hours  game drive on the extraordinary landscape, exploring the bushes while admiring the outstanding features as you are enjoying the spectacular views and scenery. During the tour, you will see wild animal species that are found nowhere else in Uganda including the black-backed jackal, herds of Cape buffalo, elephants, the astonishing 20 feet Rothschild giraffe moving majestically and many others.
