Kidepo Valley National Park

Few places concentrate wild Africa like Kidepo Valley National Park, in Northeastern Uganda, Uganda. It's a landscape managed for one thing — wildlife — which means game drives here are the real, unfenced thing: sightings unfold on the animals' terms, and that's exactly the point.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Uganda: Gorillas, the Nile and honest adventure. Most travelers weave Kidepo Valley National Park into a longer route taking in Gorilla trekking, Chimpanzees and Murchison Falls.

The operators on SafariSuite run Kidepo Valley National Park regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
