Lake Mburo & Kidepo Valley — Intimate parks for relaxed drives with zebras, impala, and elusive leopards.

What to Expect

  • Game Drives → Morning/afternoon/evening in open 4x4 vehicles (pop-up roofs for viewing). Spot predators on hunts, herds at waterholes.
  • Boat Safaris → On Kazinga Channel or Nile – hippos, crocodiles, elephants bathing, abundant birds.
  • Duration → 3-6 hours per activity; full-day options available.
  • Fitness Level → Easy – mostly vehicle-based; optional short walks.
