Kidepo Valley National Park

The True African Wilderness.
One of Africa’s most magnificent wilderness. The park’s altitude ranges between 914m and 2,750m above sea level. The park contains two rivers – Kidepo and Narus – which disappear in the dry season, leaving just pools for the wildlife.

Big game favorites Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Eland, Hartebeest, lion, Hyena and Cheetah, and perhaps Africa’s largest single herd of Buffalo roam rolling grasslands that extend in all directions towards distant mountain ranges. Wildlife also includes species that are rare or absent from other Ugandan protected areas such as Aardwolf, Bat-eared Fox, Cheetah, Striped Hyena and Ostrich. Its isolation means that Kidepo is little visited and visitors can expect to enjoy a high degree of solitude.

The maleness zebra ( Equus guagga borensis), is a subspecies of the plains zebra and was first described in 1954 by Tony Henley, then a ranger in the Game Department of the Uganda protectorate based in Moroto and in charge of Karamoja District. Spread over the northern parts of eastern Africa. It ranges in north-west Kenya from Guas ngishu and Lake Baringo to the Kidepo Valley National Park
