Where you will be

Kidepo Valley · Northeastern Uganda

On a granite outcrop above the Narus valley, with the Morungole range holding the eastern horizon.

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

A scheduled flight from Entebbe takes about two hours. By road it is a full day and a half.

Approximate position 3.901, 33.746
