This 4 days Kidepo fly-in wildlife safari is the perfect safari if you are looking to experience Kidepo Valley National Park, which is by far the best wildlife destination in Uganda. Often overlooked due to its far distance from Kampala or Entebbe, Kidepo Valley National Park is famous for its pristine wildlife experiences, stunning landscapes, and huge wildlife populations. The Park is home to large herds of Cape buffalo, African giant elephants, and a diverse range of species. Because the park is secluded, it is an African cultural attraction worth visiting.

Detailed Itinerary for 4 Days Kidepo Fly-In Wildlife Safari
Day 1: Hotel Pickup and Fly to Kidepo Valley National Park- Game Drive
After breakfast, our safari guide will meet you at 7:00 a.m. for a briefing on your expedition before transferring you to Entebbe International Airport or Kajjansi airstrip for your flight to Kidepo Valley National Park. Enjoy breathtaking views of the actual African nature from the air before landing at Apoka airstrip. Your designated safari guide will meet you at the airport and accompany you to your private, reserved accommodation. Relax and enjoy the spectacular views of the outdoors from the comfort of your accommodation.
After lunch, enjoy an evening game drive into the park, towards the Narus Valley, which is said to be the wildlife center due to its water source. Expect to see amazing wildlife like African Elephants, Cape Buffaloes in plenty, Jackson’s Hartebeests, and a variety of other antelope species. Retire to the lodge for supper and overnight.
Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Afternoon Community Cultural Tour
After your early morning meal, begin your adventure day with an early game drive into the park, which is the best time to hunt for cat species such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, serval cats, civets, and genet cats.
During this game drive, many more animal species are spotted, including Ostriches, which are unique to this park, as well as a variety of bird species. From there, head to Kanangorok hot springs for additional animals and scenery. Drive back to the lodge for a relaxing breakfast and lunch.
Later in the evening, take a visit to the Karamojong or Ik people’s rural communities to gain unrivaled cultural insight into their lifestyles and rich cultural customs. Return to the lodge for supper and overnight.
Day 3: Hike to Mount Morungole and Visit the Ik Community
Following your breakfast, set out for another rich, culturally breathtaking experience around the Kidepo Valley National Park, hiking the Morungole Mountains, and visiting the unique Ik people. This activity is physically challenging, but this will quickly fade once you meet the Ik people, enjoy the cultural performances, learn more about their way of life, take as many pictures as you can, and, if possible, donate. Return to the lodge for supper and overnight.
Day 4: Fly Back to Entebbe
After breakfast, check out of your lodge and proceed to Apoka airstrip for your return flight to Entebbe. Drop off at your hotel in Entebbe if you don’t have a flight out of Uganda on this day.
