Kidepo Valley National Park

The best way to get to Kidepo Valley National Park is by a scheduled or chartered flight.

It is also possible to drive from Entebbe to Kidepo. There are several routes. The most direct route, through Gulu to Lokumoit Gate, is about 600km/373mi and takes about 10 hours*. The trip can be broken up with an overnight stop at Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch, Chobe Safari Lodge, Gulu or Kitgum. Two longer routes pass through the remote Karamoja subregion, arriving at Nataba Gate. Karamoja was subject to banditry in the past, but it has been considered safe for several years and is a growing center of community-based tourism focused on the small town of Moroto.

Domestic flights are usually booked by your tour operator. They will also arrange for your pick-up from the airport or your hotel in most cases. You will enter Uganda by way of Entebbe International Airport (EBB), which is near the town of Entebbe and 46km/29mi from Kampala, Uganda’s capital.

*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
