What to do in Kidepo Valley National Park

Bird watching

Kidepo Valley national park has a very impressive bird list of over 470 species, the park has the second highest bird record of any Ugandan protected areas after Queen Elizabeth National Park and it’s the best for viewing Northern semi-desert specials .Sixty birds on its list haven’t been recorded in any other Ugandan park and migratory birds are present from November to April.

Games drives

It is highly advisable to use safari customized cars and be within the game viewing zone around to have opportunities of spotting nocturnal wildlife species and interact with game when very active in the coldness of the morning. Be within the same zone by 4pm for the evening game viewing safaris and catch game winding up the activities of the day. Here are more than eighty (80) different types of mammals which have been seen and recorded inside Kidepo National Park. Within the Narus Valley, there is a large number of oribis, and then Guenther’s Dik diks can frequently be seen inside the dry thorny thickets in the northern section of Kidepo National Park. Other mammals to watch out include; Kongonis, elephants, Waterbucks, Zebras, Buffaloes and much more.

Nature walks

A nature walk in to the beautiful Lamoj hills gifts the visitors an opportunity to spot wildlife within the adjacent valleys and during this nature walk you are able to capture the best-selling photographs.
