Start in Kidepo Valley National Park, where few travelers venture but wildlife thrives—zebras, ostriches, buffalo, lions, cheetahs, and elephants all roam freely across open savannahs framed by jagged mountain ridges. You’ll explore the Narus Valley on game drives, visit a Karamojong village to learn about the local culture, and sleep under vast, star-filled skies.

From there, continue to Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile River crashes through a narrow gorge in a jaw-dropping show of power. Here, you’ll go on sunrise game drives, take a boat cruise to the base of the falls, and hike to the top for a perspective few forget.
