Kidepo Valley National Park
Isolated from the Ugandan mainstream bythe harsh plains north of Mount Elgon, Kidepo is one of Africa's last great wilderness areas, a tract of rugged savannah dominated by the 2,750m Mount Morungole and transected by the Kidepo and Narus Rivers. Perennial water makes Kidepo an oasis in the semi-desert, reflected in its 86 mammal species (28 occurring nowhere else in Uganda) and almost 500 birds. Predators are well represented - not only lion, cheetah and leopard, but also the delightful bat-eared fox and insectivorous hyena-like aardwolf - while a long list of dry-country antelopes include the regal greater kudu and Beisa Oryx. While the game viewing can be excellent, it is the thrilling sense of supreme isolation that distinguishes this rare slice of wild Africa, as yet undiscovered by the mass safari market.
