Uganda’s two great northern parks: the wild savannah of Kidepo and the Nile at Murchison, linked by a light-aircraft charter.
Kidepo is the remote corner of Uganda that few visitors reach, with wide open plains, mountain views and the culture of Karamoja beyond the park. Murchison is the great river park. Together they give you Uganda’s widest range of savannah wildlife.
We fly from Entebbe to Kidepo and between the two parks, so your time goes on game drives and the river, not on the road.
