Uganda Vacation

Kidepo Valley National Park
Kidepo Valley is one of the most spectacular parks. It is located in North East of Uganda, in the semi-arid Valleys of Karamoja on the northern border with the Sudan. Kidepo Valley is Uganda’s most remote national park. Few vistors take tours to the park but the spectacular beauty of this pristine wilderness impresses those that do.

Kidepo isa residence to a large variety of almost extinct species, popular for supporting bot giraffes and zebras. The dry seasons render viewing of tree climbing lions, elephants, buffalos and many others.

For the visiting birder, Kidepo Valley NP boasts a bird list of over 475 species, a total second only to Queen Elizabeth NP. Amongst the host of dry, eastern “specials” not found in any other Ugandan national park are some of East Africa’s rarest and most sought-after birds such as Black-breasted Barbet and Karamoja Apalis.
