Kidepo Valley

Uganda's most remote park, in the Karamoja corner where the borders of South Sudan and Kenya meet. Wide, dry, and almost empty of other vehicles.

WildlifeRemoteCulture

Why visit

  • The emptiest big park in Uganda — you may not see another vehicle
  • Species found nowhere else in the country, including cheetah and ostrich
  • Karamojong cultural visits on the park edge

Things to do

  • Narus Valley game drives
  • Kanangorok hot springs, near the South Sudan border
  • Karamojong manyatta visit
  • Guided nature walks with an armed ranger

Know before you go

  • Remote — fuel, cash and spares should be sorted before you arrive
  • Flying turns a two-day drive into a ninety-minute hop
  • Nights are cold by Ugandan standards
