Fly to Kidepo Valley: Safari Adventures & Cultural Encounters

A guide from Verdoro Safaris 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 up by our focal person at the park. You will then be transferred to your lodge where 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, leopards, and several species of antelope.

You will have a sumptuous breakfast at your lodge and 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 manyattas 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.

This third day begins with breakfast before heading to the Kidepo Valley. You will pass through the Narus Valley again on your way to the Kidepo Valley to spot more mammals, ostriches, and other bird species. 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.
