Overview
This 4-day Kidepo National Park safari is full of thrill and adventure. Kidepo National Park is Uganda’s least traveled national park, despite its abundance of animals and attractive virgin plains. A wildlife drive in Kidepo National Park is only equivalent to that of Masai Mara National Park, and when combined with the Karamojong culture excursions, it provides a lasting and unique experience.
