7 Days Kidepo and Murchison Falls Safari Experience

Kidepo Valley is known for its large herds of elephants and buffaloes and predators like lions and leopards. The park’s remote location also means fewer tourists than other parks in Uganda.
Murchison Falls features one of Africa’s most powerful waterfalls and is home to a variety of wildlife including Rothschild’s giraffe and several primate species.

Engaging with local communities enhances this safari experience:
In Kidepo Valley, visitors can interact with the Karamojong people who maintain traditional pastoral lifestyles.
