4. Day 4: Game Drive in the National Park

   • Transverse by large sand rivers, Kidepo Valley National Park is renowned for its distinctive composition of wild game co-existing with the dry mountain forests and open savannah that is home to over 77 mammal species and almost 500 birds. As a result, the variety of animal species in the park is equally abundant, including many, which are to be found nowhere else in Uganda, such as Cheetahs. Therefore, on day four, you will spot as many animal and bird species as possible during game drives around the park for the whole day, including the rare/ endemic ones that are nowhere else in Uganda, such as the cheetah.

While in the Murchison, both the game drives and the launch trips offer an opportunity for one to come across distinct animal and birdlife. A game drive around the Buligi game tracks on the northern bank with our trained guide is a fantastic way to see and photograph the wide range of animals in the Nile Valley, see the lions, hyenas, elephants, giraffes and probably the leopard.
