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
