About this listing
Kideop Valley National Park is situated in North / East Uganda on border to South Sudan and Kenya, Kidepo Valley NP has consistently been rated as one of the best national parks in Africa due to its remote wild charm, big sky views and open lightly wooded savannahs, teeming with wildlife. The first European to explore the mountains elevations was Joseph Tomson, who travelled there from Kenya in 1883. Tomson called the mountain Mt. Elgon, which is basically the English adaptation of a name that Maasai tribes had given to the mountain and its inhabitants.
Park covers an area of 1,442 sq kilometres at an altitude ranging from 914 and 2,750 meters above sea level with Mount Morungole highest point. The dominant habitat is open or lightly wooded savannah, interspersed with areas of montane forest, riparian woodland, borassus palms and rocky koppies. The mountainous terrain is broken up by two predominant valleys - the Narus Valley and the Kidepo Valley - which extend from South Sudan into Uganda.
