Explore a 4-day Uganda safari to Kidepo National Park for the best wildlife viewing safari in Uganda. This trip itinerary perfectly introduces you to the magical Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda’s isolated park in the far Northeastern part of the country, Karamoja region. At Kidepo, you will enjoy the best of a guided game drive through the enriching game tracks including Narus Valleys and Kidepo loop. It is one of the wildest of all our Uganda safaris, and pairs well with a visit to Murchison Falls National Park.

This park boasts a huge concentration of mammals and other species including the Rothschild giraffes, cheetahs, lions, leopards, buffaloes, roan antelopes, zebras, and over 475 bird species. This tour takes 3 nights and 4 days starting from Entebbe or Kampala.

I had the best experience from beginning to end, my every whim was catered to. My guide Howard was knowledgeable, kind and went above and beyond. I absolutely loved my gorilla trekking experience!

★★★★★

The best experience ever. Lydia and Howard looked after us from start to finish and the customer service was 5 stars. We did Queen Elizabeth Park, gorilla trekking and the Batwa community visit, a time I will never forget.

★★★★★

An amazing experience. Lydia planned my 7-day trip perfectly in every detail, and my driver Jack was the best guide I ever had, he even spotted a leopard up in the trees in the Ishasha Section.
