Kidepo National Park
This has the most stunning scenery of any protected area in Uganda. Kidepo is most notable for harboring a number of animals found no else where else in Uganda, including cheetahs, but-eared foxes, caracal etc. There is also concentration of elephants. Zebras, bushbuck, buffaloes, jackals, leopards, hyenas and crocodiles. Amazingly, most of these animals including even the occasional lions, are content to graze and to lounge near the park accommodation, so you can see the whole lot without even going very far
The bird check list is fast approaching 500 species and there are many kidepo specials such as ostrich, pygmy falcon, secretary bird, karamoja apalis and Abyssinian ground hornbill that are found in no other Uganda national park.
Wildlife viewing
