About Kidepo Valley
Nestled in the remote Karamoja region, Kidepo Valley spans 1,442 square kilometers of rugged, semi-arid wilderness. Rated among Africa's top national parks by international travel experts, Kidepo offers an exclusive safari experience far from crowded tourist tracks.
The park features two main river valleys—Narus and Kidepo—which dry out during the peak season, leaving oasis-like waterholes that draw dense concentrations of wildlife.
