Kidepo NP

Kidepo Valley National Park lies in the rugged, semi arid valleys between Uganda’s borders with Sudan and Kenya. Gazetted as a national park in 1962, it has a profusion of big game and hosts over 77 mammal species as well as around 475 bird species.

Kidepo is Uganda’s most isolated national park, but the few who make the long journey north through the wild frontier region of Karamoja would agree that it is also the most magnificent, for Kidepo ranks among Africa’s finest wildernesses. From Apoka, in the heart of the park, a savannah landscape extends far beyond the gazetted area, towards horizons outlined by distant mountain ranges.

Traveling to Kidepo NP with driver, kindly plan before hand with manager Karamoja Arts. The price will be the hire of the car, the sleeping and eating in the parc and the gamedrive in the evening and morning. From Kotido it is 3-4 hours drive to Kidepo: under normal road conditions.
