A 4 Days Fly-in Kidepo safari is the ultimate luxury option for exploring Uganda’s most remote and rugged wilderness.

Detailed itinerary.
Day 1: Entebbe to Kidepo Valley National Park.
Once you arrive at Entebbe Airport. You will board your domestic flight (usually departing at 12:30 PM). Enjoy incredible aerial views of the changing Ugandan landscapes.
In the afternoon, you will land at Apoka Airstrip around 2:45 PM. Your Uganda safari guide in a 4×4 safari vehicle will transfer you to your luxury lodge. On the way to your lodge, you will start on your first game drive across the golden savannah plains. Keep your eyes open for lions resting on granite kopjes. After lunch, relax, and later have dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 2: Narus Valley Safari and Cultural Encounter in Kidepo Valley National Park.
After breakfast, meet your safari guide and then set off for an early game drive in the Narus Valley. Because this valley holds water year-round, it acts as an oasis attracting massive congregations of elephants, thousands of Cape buffaloes, giraffes, and elusive predators like leopards and cheetahs.
In the afternoon, you will visit an authentic Karamojong Manyatta (village). Meet the local elders, learn about their nomadic pastoralist heritage, admire their unique body arts, and watch traditional energetic jumping dances. Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 3: Kidepo Valley River Bed and Hot Springs Experience in Kidepo Valley National Park.
After your hearty breakfast, early in the morning, meet your safari guide and then drive north toward the South Sudan border, where the landscape transitions into dry sand-river beds lined with borassus palms. Cross the scenic Kidepo River bed to explore the Kanangorok Hot Springs.
In the afternoon, the northern sector is the premier spot to see the giant ostrich and specialised birds of prey. Optional: If coordinated in advance, you can instead choose a challenging full-day hike up Mount Morungole to visit the highly isolated Ik tribe. Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 4: Morning Nature Walk and Fly Back.
Get up early in the morning and enjoy breakfast. After breakfast, go for a thrilling guided savannah nature walk accompanied by an armed Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger. Walking on foot allows you to track animal footprints up close and discover the smaller intricacies of the bush.
In the afternoon, you will return to the lodge for an early lunch and check out. Head back to Apoka Airstrip for your 3:00 PM flight, landing back in Entebbe by 4:30 PM to catch your international departure that brings your safari to an end.
