Kidepo National Park
This is Uganda's remotest National Park in the far northeast of the country that is rarely visited by tourists and boasts pristine wilderness, rugged mountain scenery and exceptional game viewing and bird watching.
Five primate species, wild dog, striped hyena, lion, cheetah and a remarkable 17 antelope species occur in Kidepo and more than 480 bird species have been recorded with more than 60 that are not found elsewhere in Uganda. Much of the park is arid savannah and acacia country with stands of borassus palms, broken by numerous watercourses which are dry for most of the year.
The most rewarding time to visit is during the dry season between December and early April; during the rains of April-May and July-August travel can be difficult and game hard to locate owing to the long grass. Owing to its remote location it is recommended to fly into the park from Entebbe.
