Kidepo Valley Flying Safari

Day 01
Following breakfast, you will be transferred to Kajjansi Airstrip to meet your Private charter plane to Kidepo National Park. Isolated from the Ugandan mainstream by the harsh plains to the north of Mount Elgon, Kidepo Valley National Park is Uganda's second biggest National Park, and Apoka Lodge is the only lodge in the entire area. Kidepo is one of Africa's last great wilderness areas, a tract of rugged savannah dominated by Mount Morungole and ransected by the Kidepo and Narus Rivers. Perennial running water in the Narus River makes Kidepo an oasis in the semi desert.

This afternoon you can either take a game drive around the lodge area or perhaps recover from your flights with a refreshing dip in stunning swimming
pool. Carved out of a granite kopje the pool affords fantastic views down the Narus valley and over a waterhole frequented by many animals including Bullbull - our friendly elephant and unofficial head gardener!
Overnight at Apoka Safari Lodge /Apoka Self contained Bandas(Full Board).

Meet the local elders and have an opportunity to interact with them. They will show you the kraals, the grinding stones and many more interesting items. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
