Day 3

Kidepo National Park

Spend a full day exploring this beautiful park on morning and afternoon game drives. An oasis in the middle of a vast inhospitable region, Kidepo has a vast array of game on offer. Whilst perhaps not for the first time safari-goer, Kidepo is an African enthusiast’s dream destination. Located around the Kidepo and Narus Rivers, game is similar to that found in the Murchison Falls National Park including Oribi and often some great lion vs buffalo action if you are lucky! After your exciting day on safari, head back to your lodge to relax in your bush bath listening to the sounds of the wilderness.

Kidepo National Park - Entebbe

One final game drive this morning as you set off in the direction of the hot springs where you can sit and enjoy views out towards the mountains and the Sudanese border. Returning to the lodge for lunch you then transfer to the airstrip in time for your return flight back to Entebbe (1500/1630hrs) and your international flight back home. Alternatively extend your stay and set off deeper into Uganda or Rwanda to track the endangered mountain gorillas or transfer to the Indian Ocean for the ultimate in relaxation.
