Located in the remote northeastern region of Uganda, this park offers untamed beauty and exceptional wildlife encounters.

As you venture deeper into the park, keep your eyes peeled for the diverse flora and fauna. The journey itself is an adventure, and you might spot some wildlife along the way. Kidepo Valley National Park is known for its stunning savannah landscapes and an abundance of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, and more.

You’ll spend your first night in a comfortable lodge within the park, listening to the sounds of the African wilderness and anticipating the adventures that lie ahead.

Day 2: Gorilla Tracking in Mgahinga Gorilla Park
