5 Days Kidepo Valley Wildlife Safari

5 days in one of Africa's most remote, untouched and spectacular safari destinations. Hidden in Uganda's far northeastern corner, Kidepo Valley National Park is often described as one of the continent's most authentic wilderness experiences, with dramatic landscapes, abundant wildlife and a sense of isolation rarely found elsewhere.

Surrounded by rugged mountains, vast savannah plains and seasonal river valleys, Kidepo holds an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, ostrich and species seldom seen elsewhere in Uganda. Reached by scheduled flight, this journey blends convenience, exclusivity and exceptional game viewing for seasoned travellers and those seeking the road less travelled.
