This 7 days safari goes to Kidepo Valley National Park and Sipi Falls on the Foothills of Mount Elgon National Park in Eastern Uganda. This tour takes you to the less explored parts of Uganda like Kidepo Valley National Park which is among the most remote places in East Africa and most unfrequented Parks in Uganda found in Karamoja in Northeastern part of the country.
Very few people visit this park, but the few that visit are certainly rewarded by the splendor of this place. As many perceive the park to be Wild Africa, this unspoiled Kidepo valley has an abundance of wildlife including several uncommon bird species.
