Africa’s best kept secret and a true African wilderness, Kidepo Valley National Park in North Eastern corner of Uganda borders Kenya and Sudan within the hills of Karamoja and the Nageya valley.
Its Montane forest, grassy plains, open tree savannah, thick miombo-like woodlands and rocky outcrops host a variety of birds including 28 species from the Somali-Masai and Sudan–Guinea Savanna biomes, which are endemic to this area.
With around 480 bird species in total, the park has the second-highest bird record of any Ugandan protected areas after Queen Elizabeth National Park, and supports some of the rarest species in Uganda, such as the Black-breasted Barbet and Karamoja Apalis. The park also boasts around 86 mammal species, and its open savannah landscape provides excellent game viewing.
