Also, other large mammals like elephant, Burchell’s zebra, buffalo, Rothschild giraffe, eland, Jackson’s hartebeest, oribi, Bohor reedbuck, waterbuck, and Kongoni can be spotted in the park.
Plentiful numbers of carnivores such as leopard, lion sunbathing atop rocks, spotted hyena, black-backed and side-striped jackals may also be seen whilst on a game drive.
Kidepo is also home to five different species of primate, including the Kavirondo bush baby, which is endemic to this area. The dry thorn thicket landscape in the north of the park is home to Guenther’s dik-dik and Senegal galago.
A rich and diverse reptile fauna is also found in the park. For bird lovers, some of East Africa’s rarest and most sought-after birds can be found here such as the black-breasted barbet and Karamoja Apalis. Overnight at your lodge
Day Three: Kidepo Back to Entebbe
