Seated on an expansive area of 1,442sqkms; Kidepo Valley National Park is situated in the North Eastern Uganda at the edge of Karamonja region. The park stretches up to the border of Uganda and South Sudan and is also proximate to the border of Uganda and North Western Kenya in the Turkana Land. The elevation of the park ranges between 914m and 2750m above sea level.

Nominated as one of the most beautiful national parks in Africa, Kidepo Valley National Park is a hidden natural gem. Gazette in 1962, the ecosystem of Kidepo Park is supported by two seasonal rivers; Narus and Kidepo. These completely lose water in the dry season and the only sources of water are natural pools and wetlands within the park.  Kidepo experiences a semi-arid climate with only an annual wet season between April and September. Narus Valley receives 890mm of rain while Kidepo receives 635mm; Narus Valley is the perpetual source of water for wildlife in the park.

The park is beautifully decorated by dry mountain vegetation, open savannah grasslands and semi-arid vegetation in the Kidepo valley section of the park. Kidepo National Park nestles 77 mammal species and these include bart-eared fox, striped hyena, caracal, tree-climbing lion, leopard, spotted hyena, black-backed and side-stripped jack, and cheetah (only found in Kidepo N.P. in Uganda). Among chandlers are Burchell’s zebra, bush-pig, Rothschild giraffe, elephants, mountain reedbucks, bushbucks, buffalo, and eland.  Endowed with over 475 bird species, Kidepo is home to Ostrich, kori bustard, secretary bird, red-throated bee-eater, and the Abyssinian ground hornbill. Among preying birds are Egyptian vultures, Verreaux Eagle, and pygmy falcon.
