Kidepo Valley National Park

Kidepo Valley National Park

Kidepo Valley National Park, tucked in Uganda’s far north-east, is arguably the country’s most dramatic and least-visited park. Sweeping grasslands, rocky ridges, and distant mountains create one of East Africa’s most picturesque settings.

Because of its isolation, Kidepo remains pristine. Here, lions, elephants, giraffes, and ostriches roam vast open plains, often with no other vehicles in sight. The landscape feels ancient and boundless — true wilderness.

*Fact: CNN once listed Kidepo among Africa’s top 10 national parks for its raw beauty and sense of discovery.*

  • Best Time to Visit: December – March and June – September for best wildlife and weather.
  • Entry Fees: Approx USD 40–50 per adult per day.
  • Country: Northern

Why Go to Kidepo Valley

Kidepo offers what modern safaris rarely can: solitude. Its beauty is vast, silent, and wild. You come for the animals, but leave with awe for the landscape.

It’s the ultimate off-the-beaten-path adventure in Uganda.

Where to Go in Kidepo

The park has two main valleys: Narus and Kidepo. Both offer scenic routes and game concentrations.

Each has its charm — Narus for wildlife, Kidepo for vistas.

When to Visit Kidepo

The park is accessible year-round, but the dry season provides easier access and denser wildlife concentrations around Narus Valley.

Expect vast horizons and fiery sunsets.
