What to expect
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. Read more in the Uganda destination guide.
On arrival at Entebbe International Airport you are met by our representative and transferred to your hotel. Relax and unwind beside the calm waters of Lake Victoria as you prepare for your safari to Uganda's wild north.
