3 Days Kidepo National Park Safari
During the 3 days at Kidepo Valley National Park safari, you will experience the true African wilderness with the open plains. The dry savannah grassland allows you to view wildlife species like lions, cheetahs, large herds of elephants, and many others. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to visit the IK community for a cultural experience. The Ik is one of the smallest tribes in the world believed to be with a population of less than 1000 individuals. This group of people survives within the areas of Mount Morungole in Kidepo Valley National Park. Like the Batwa of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the Ik have for a long time rejected civilization. Spending time with these people will create everlasting memories on your 3 days Kidepo National Park safari.
