Where you will be

Kidepo Valley · Northeastern Uganda

On the ridge above Apoka, looking south across the valley towards the Narus.

Closer to South Sudan than to Kampala. Getting there takes a flight or a long deliberate drive, which is exactly why the plains stay empty.

Getting there

Twenty minutes from Kidepo airstrip. The road route is a full two days from Kampala.

Approximate position 3.923, 33.711
