Visit Kidepo Valley National Park
Kidepo Valley National Park is one of Uganda’s most spectacular and remote parks tucked in the northeastern corner bordering Kenya and South Sudan. Kidepo Valley National Park covers an area of 1,442 square kilometers and has an altitude ranging between 914m and 2750m. Kidepo Valley National Park harbors scenery that is not in any other parks in East Africa. Kidepo Valley National Park has a semi-arid climate with one rainy season year in the months of April – September.
Kidepo Valley National Park has two rivers i.e. Narus River and Kidepo River and the two rivers are seasonal. This means that in the dry season they dry out, as such the only water in the park is in the wetlands and remnant pools along the Narus valley. Stroll along the Kidepo River in the dry season and enjoy its 50m bed of white sand between banks covered by Borassus palm trees. You will be surprised to find heavily flowing rivers during the rainy season, such a unique setting, and a ‘beach’ during the dry season.

The game drives are usually done in the Narus valley which is a plain enclosed by distant mountains because the valley has to water much of the year, many animals congregate here making it easier to sight them. Watch the animals in the grasslands across a large spectrum. Visit the Katurum kopje, which will provide superb views of the scenery across the valley.

The species of interest include; Clapperton’s Francolin, Purple Heron, Karamoja Apalis, Abyssinian Ground Hornbill, Abyssinian Roller, Eurasian Roller, Helmeted Guinea fowl, and several birds of prey.

Nature and Hiking walks (Walking Safari)
All the different mountains in and outside Karamoja can be hiked but the most common hikes are to Lamoj mountains. It takes about 4 hours to hike and to start early morning before the heat picks up.
Nature walks are available and they take 2 hours (Narus valley from Apoka tourism center) which is 5km. One can take 6 hours to Namamukweny valley for the beautiful scenery.
Community walks and Cultural experiences
The Karamoja region has rich cultures of the Karamajong and Ik tribes. The Ik tribe is the most isolated tribe in Uganda living on top of Morungole Mountain.

They are largely peaceful hunter-gatherers who have retreated to the mountains for protection from the neighboring cattle-raiding tribes.
