If you want to experience the full breadth of Uganda wildlife and landscapes — from the rolling acacia savannah of the southwest to the vast untamed semi-arid plains of the northeast — our Lake Mburo and Kidepo Frontier Safari is the journey to make.
Starting Gentle: Lake Mburo
Lake Mburo National Park eases you into the safari with its intimate scale and approachable wildlife. Walking safaris among zebras and impalas, a sunset boat cruise on the lake, and the chance to spot the rare eland make for a relaxed and rewarding first act.
Flying North: Kidepo Valley
From Lake Mburo, you fly to Kidepo — and the contrast is immediate. Where Lake Mburo is green and pastoral, Kidepo Valley is vast, arid, and elemental. The Narus Valley stretches to distant mountains on three sides, and the silence is absolute.
Wildlife Unique to Kidepo
Kidepo hosts species found nowhere else in Uganda: cheetah, striped hyena, bat-eared fox, caracal, and the Karamoja apalis bird. The park isolation is its greatest asset — you are unlikely to see another vehicle on morning game drives.
