LOCATION AND HABITAT
Kidepo is one of the most spectacular parks in Uganda (1,344sq.km). The Park possesses scenery unsurpassed by any other park in East Africa. In the vast panorama you can watch a constant parade of wildlife: elephant, zebra,buffalo, countless antelope and over 200 species of birds. As Kidepo Valley is quite remote, it is easily the most tranquil park. Tucked into the corner of Uganda's border with Sudan and Kenya, the park contains sensational mountain and savannah landscapes.

The game-viewing loops connect the rest-camp with prime wildlife areas near the Winy River and the rock escarpment to the south-west. On the northern border of the Park are the Kananorok Hot Springs.

The thrilling wildlife seen in this area(which is part of the Karamoja region) includes lion, ostrich, cheetah, zebra, Leopard, Lions, Elephant, kudu and dik-dik.
