Kidepo Valley National Park Safari

 

Kidepo Valley National Park -Uganda East Africa

Uganda's most remote Game Park-It is the Wild Wild North East with its mysterious Karamajong Tribe and an abundance of Wildlife and Birds and one of the classiest game lodges in Africa -Apoka Game Lodge.

A perfect 4 day Fly-In Kidepo Valley Safari into the remotest part of Uganda, the Karamajong Northeast of Uganda


Kidepo Valley National Park borders Southern Sudan and Kenya.  Most safari enthusiasts never reach this wonderful place of mystery and wonders.  Teeming with wildlife such as Elephants, Zebras, Giraffes, Buffaloes, 77 species of mammal including 20 species of predators such as black eared jackals, hyenas, leopards, lions, cheetahs.   mongooses, cats of various kinds.  You will find over 20 different varieties of antelopes, patas monkeys, bush pigs, warthogs.  In this relative small park there are 463 species of confirmed birds, many of which are not found in other regions of Uganda (60), this includes 56 species of raptors and how could one forget, ostriches.

Enjoy game drives and nature walks away from anyone, it is you and your guide and driver slowly moving across this valley and viewing animals in their habitat, enjoying the scenic, semi arid beauty, the mountains in the distance, the valley is ringed by mountains.

If you want to experience the wilds of Africa up close and personal, this is the place and the Apoka Game Lodge allows you do so in style with fabulous accommodations, including bath tubs, pressurized showers, a splendid lodge and pool overlooking Kidepo where you can eat or have a drink watching animals up close to you. 

Those who come here, always speak of returning to this scenic area of Uganda.  One could drive here, but in light of petro prices and vehicle rental and driver, safety during the journey, it is best one simply takes the plane and arrive in style a short distance from the Lodge and have a fabulous lunch with the animals nearby after you arrive.

This trip will be one of the highlights of your Uganda-Africa Trip.  This is about as far from the hustle and business of any Western city you can get, and certainly away from the jam packed streets of Kampala.  Serenity is all one can say, beauty in a way you have never seen before.
