Kidepo Valley National Park
Kidepo Valley National Park is located on the northeastern side of Uganda and is one of the least visited national parks. This is mainly because this beautiful national park has been inaccessible for a long time. Having done a familiarization tour of Kidepo Valley National Park to find out about Kidepo attractions, Kidepo lodges, and how best to get there, Empathy Tours is glad to inform you that we have now extended our operations to Kidepo National Park.

Mount Moroto: Towering Over the Karamoja Region
Standing tall at 3,000 meters, Mount Moroto is an inactive volcano that dominates the Karamoja landscape. This natural giant offers adventurous hikers captivating trails that wind through unique flora and fauna, geological formations, and steep escarpments. The climb to the summit is challenging but immensely rewarding, with sweeping views of the surrounding plains that will take your breath away.
Beyond Wildlife: A Cultural Encounter
Kidepo isn’t just about its wildlife and landscapes—it’s also a cultural haven. The Karamojong people, indigenous pastoralists of the region, welcome visitors to experience their way of life. Visit their manyattas (traditional homesteads), learn about their fascinating traditions, and enjoy lively dance performances. Engage in conversations with the elders, and discover a culture deeply connected to the land. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with Uganda’s rich heritage.
