Kidepo Valley National Park
Day 1
Following breakfast, you will be
transferred to Kajjansi Airstrip to meet
your Private charter plane to Kidepo
National Park. Isolated from the Ugandan
mainstream by the harsh plains to the
north of Mount Elgon, Kidepo Valley
National Park is Uganda’s second biggest
National Park, and Apoka Lodge is the
only lodge in the entire area. Kidepo is
one of Africa’s last great wilderness
areas, a tract of rugged savannah
dominated by Mount Morungole and
transected by the Kidepo and Narus
Rivers. Perennial running water in the
Narus River makes Kidepo an oasis in the
semi desert.
This afternoon you can either take a
game drive around the lodge area or
perhaps recover from your flights with a
refreshing dip in stunning swimming
pool. Carved out of a granite kopje the
pool affords fantastic views down the
Narus valley and over a waterhole
frequented by many animals including
Bullbull - our friendly elephant and
unofficial head gardener!
Overnight at Apoka Safari Lodge (Full
Board).
Day 2
After an early breakfast, go for morning
game drive to Kanangorok hot spring. A
variety of animals can be seen roaming
around including Ostrich. Return to the
lodge for lunch. In the afternoon have a
cultural experience that will bring into
contact with Karamjong peoples at
Karenna and Kapedo. Meet the local
elders and have an opportunity to
interact with them. They will show you
the kraals, the grinding stones and many
more interesting items. Return to the
lodge for dinner and overnight.

Raven and the very rare Stone Partridge.
