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!           
                                                                             Buffalo herds

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.

There’s a great birding opportunity where you will get a chance to spot different birds of the 475 species including the Karamoja Apalis, Abyssinian roller, Common Ostrich, Silver bird, Secretary birds and many more.
                                               The Karamoja Apalis

During your holiday with Kjong safaris, our tour guide will take you for a community walk which will help you to easily slip into the lives of the different tribes staying near Kidepo National Park including the Karamojong people, an outstanding pastoral tribe and witness their daily life as you glance at their marvelous grass thatched houses. The Ik, an amazing hunter gatherer tribe which stays up on the Morungole Mountain from which you can view the stunning features of Northern Uganda. Our guide will lead you to the gorgeous pools of hot natural mineral water called the Kanangorok hot springs which its water is believed to be heated underground and comes on top crystal clear flowing between the rocks and the grassy plains with big rocky outcrops. After this thrilling wilderness experience, you would opt to extend your Holiday!

Mountain Elgon National Park

Mountain Elgon National Park

Kjong Safaris Uganda would like to introduce to you Mountain Elgon National Park. 
Mountain Elgon National Park
is found on the largest volcanic base in world, it’s a home to over 300 species of birds, including the endangered lammergeyer small antelopes, forest monkeys, elephants and buffaloes also live on the mountainside. The higher slopes are protected by national parks in Uganda and Kenya creating and extensive trans-boundary conservation area which has been declared a UNESCO man And Biosphere Reserve.
Hiking on Mountain Elgon deserted moorlands unveils magnificent and uncluttered wilderness without the summit-oriented approach common to many mountains: the ultimate goal on reaching the top of Mt. Elgon is not the final ascent to 4,321m Wagagai peak, but the descent into vast 40km2 Caldera.
Activities that can be done in this amazing game park are mountain hiking, the shortest but steepest hike takes 4 days following the sasa trail and the other trail is the sipi trail which takes 4 to 6 days and the longest trail(Piswa trail) starts at the  village of kapkwata on the north side of the mountain beyond kapchorwa
A visit to the breath-taking Sipi Falls which are on the northern and eastern side of Mountain, these are three water falls at sipi in kapchorwa just outside the park, the lowest of these is the most spectacular as it cascades over 100m cliff, you can stand behind the caves and enjoy the back view of the falls.
A visit to the Nyero rock Paintings that o back to about 100 years, these are the finest of the several rock art sites in the region.
The wildlife adventure tour of the region, where you are able to do bird watching, primate tracking, wildlife adventures of the buffaloes, elephants and so many others you can get a chance to view the amazing
vegetation in the area. The mountain slopes are covered with OliveOleahochstetter land forest, at high latitudes this changes to olive and Podocarpusgracilior forest, this is an excellent place to view primates such as the black and white colobus, red-tailed and blue monkeys and baboons.
