A 7-day safari experience in Uganda, specifically visiting Kidepo Valley National Park and Murchison Falls National Park, offers a unique opportunity to explore some of the most stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife in East Africa. This itinerary typically includes game drives, nature walks, cultural interactions with local communities, and opportunities to see a variety of animals including elephants, lions, giraffes, and numerous bird species.

Wildlife Highlights

Kidepo Valley is known for its large herds of elephants and buffaloes and predators like lions and leopards. The park’s remote location also means fewer tourists than other parks in Uganda.

Murchison Falls features one of Africa’s most powerful waterfalls and is home to a variety of wildlife including Rothschild’s giraffe and several primate species.

Cultural Experiences

Engaging with local communities enhances this safari experience:

In Kidepo Valley, visitors can interact with the Karamojong people who maintain traditional pastoral lifestyles.

Cultural visits often include traditional dances, storytelling sessions, and insights into their daily lives.
