Kidepo Valley National Park – Uganda’s Most Spectacular & Untouched Safari Wilderness

Kidepo Valley National Park is Uganda’s most remote and untouched wilderness, known for spectacular savannah landscapes, rare wildlife species, authentic cultural encounters, and some of Africa’s best off-the-beaten-path game viewing. It offers exceptional sightings of lions, cheetahs, ostriches, buffaloes, and the dramatic Narus and Kidepo valleys.

Kidepo Valley National Park is one of Africa’s last true wildernesses—a remote and breathtaking destination tucked away in northeastern Uganda. Famous for its sweeping savannah plains, rugged mountains, and dramatic valleys, Kidepo offers exceptional game viewing far from the crowds. The park is home to Africa’s largest buffalo herds, the rare cheetah, bat-eared fox, aardwolf, and a thriving population of lions often seen resting on the rocky outcrops of the Narus Valley.

Travellers enjoy scenic game drives, birdwatching for more than 470 species including the Ostrich and Karamoja Apalis, and cultural encounters with the Karamojong and Ik communities—two of East Africa’s most distinct cultural groups. Kidepo’s raw beauty and exclusivity make it perfect for travellers seeking a premium off-the-beaten-path safari.

Kidepo combines beautifully with longer Uganda itineraries such as the 8 Days Uganda Primates & Wildlife Safari or gorilla trekking extensions like the 4 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tour, allowing guests to enjoy Uganda’s full diversity in one trip.
