Description
Our 4 Days Kidepo wildlife safari tour package is ideal for those who want to visit somewhere different. Kidepo valley national park is found in the remote rugged and semi-arid parts of Karamoja. The park covers an area of about 1,440 km2 and has been described as one of the top three parks in Africa by CNN Travel.
This hidden gem is Uganda’s true answer to Kenya and Tanzania’s Serengeti. While the park is not as well marketed or visited as other travel destinations in Uganda like Murchison Falls or Queen Elizabeth national parks, the terrain, unspoiled savannah grassland, mountains and wild animals remind you of how the African plains once used to be.
Day 1: Fly in to Kidepo and go for Afternoon game drive
A guide from Verdoro Safaris Uganda will pick you up from your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe and take you to either Entebbe airport or Kajjansi airfield. Your two hour flight will give you an opportunity to see Uganda’s beautiful and changing landscape. You will land at Kidepo Valley airfield where you will be picked by our focal person at the park. You will then be transferred to your lodge were you will freshen up, have lunch, relax/swim and wait for your afternoon game drive. The afternoon game drive will take you to spot lions, hippos, wild dogs, buffaloes, elephants, leopard and several species of antelope. Dinner and overnight will be at Apoka Safari lodge.
Day 2: Morning game drive to Narus Valley and visit to the Karamojong community
You will have sumptuous breakfast at your lodge then be driven for a game drive at the Narus valley. Every game drive is different and you will see mammals and birds that you probably didn’t see in the first game drive. Kidepo is a beautiful park and you will be amazed by the landscape and unspoiled wilderness. Take enough photos before returning back to your lodge for lunch and a swim. In the afternoon, you will be taken to visit the Karamojong people. The Karamojong are nomadic pastoralists who live in unique houses called manyatas that are designed to be temporal. Their leaders will explain to you things related to their culture and entertain you with their traditional songs and dances. Dinner and overnight will be at Apoka Safari lodge.
Day 3: Game drive to Kidepo Valley and Hot Springs – visit to the Ik People
This third day begins with breakfast before heading to the Kidepo valley.

You will see the famous Hot springs in Kidepo and get to know how they relate to the local/indigenous communities. You should go see the border between Uganda and South Sudan before returning to your lodge. Dinner and overnight will be at Apoka Safari lodge.
