4 Days Kidepo Flying Wildlife Safari: With its amazing wildlife diversity, it will offer you the best African jungle experiences. The long travel to the park means this wildlife safari is a flight trip. Traveling from Kampala to Kidepo Valley National Park would take more than ten hours. The drive is still lengthy even if you are traveling from another safari location, such as Murchison Falls National Park. For this reason, most people would rather fly straight to Kidepo Valley National Park. It is the most remote park in Uganda and is situated in northeastern Uganda. Among the many species found in Kidepo Valley National Park are leopards, lions, and cheetahs. It is rare to witness leopards and cheetahs, but if you are lucky, you might see all three.

Other noteworthy safari creatures that you will see in Kidepo Valley National Park include zebras, jackals, giraffes, and elephants. Along with Lake Mburo National Park, Kidepo is one of only two places in Uganda where zebras can be seen. Additionally, the park and Pian Upe Reserve are Uganda’s only cheetah habitats.

The largest buffalo population in Uganda is found in Kidepo Valley National Park. There are so many buffaloes here that the landscape occasionally resembles the vast herds of wildebeest in Serengeti National Park. During game drives on the park’s many trails, a sizable number of these buffalos will be visible. You will also visit the Karamjong village during this 4-day Kidepo flying safari, where you will engage with the locals and discover their customs, values, and way of life. Among the few tribes in Uganda that still adhere to their ancient African traditions and rituals are the Karamjong.

A visit to the community will help you better understand the locals, and on your 4-day Kidepo flying wildlife safari, you will get the opportunity to interact with them, enjoy a guided nature walk, and be entertained by their traditional dances.
