A safari to Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda's most remote and wildest park, tucked against the South Sudan and Kenya borders, and the only Ugandan park with resident cheetah.

Kidepo's remoteness has kept it one of the least visited parks in East Africa despite exceptional wildlife, including species found nowhere else in Uganda such as cheetah, ostrich and bat-eared fox. Its dramatic mountain-backed savanna landscape is often described as one of the most scenic settings of any African park.

Safari Questions

Questions About This Safari

Why is Kidepo so remote?

It sits in Uganda's far northeast, near the South Sudan and Kenya borders, requiring a flight rather than a practical road journey from Kampala or other parks.

Is Kidepo the only place to see cheetah in Uganda?

Yes, it's the sole Ugandan park with a resident cheetah population.

Is Kidepo worth the extra travel effort?

Many describe its scenery and wildlife density as among the best in East Africa, precisely because so few visitors make the journey.
