Kidepo Valley National Park, located in the northeastern corner of Uganda, is a true wilderness area that is often referred to as one of Africa’s last great wildernesses. The park is renowned for its rugged savannah landscapes, dramatic mountain ranges, and abundant wildlife.

The valley is teeming with wildlife, offering visitors a chance to spot herds of buffalo, zebras, and various antelope species, as well as an array of birdlife. The park’s diverse landscapes, from open savannah to dense woodlands, provide a rich tapestry for wildlife safari lovers.

In addition to its rich wildlife, Kidepo Valley National Park is also known for its cultural heritage.

This cultural immersion adds depth and authenticity to the Uganda safari experience, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the region’s history and traditions.

Sipi Falls, located in the eastern part of Uganda near the town of Kapchorwa, is a series of three stunning waterfalls that cascade down the slopes of Mount Elgon. The tallest of the three falls plunges over 100 meters, creating a mesmerizing display of natural beauty.
