Kidepo Wilderness Lodge

Opened in February 2026 just outside the Kalokudo Gate, this hillside lodge has wide-open views across the savannah and a pool looking out over the park. Sixteen semi-tented rooms, full board, and everything arranged on site — game drives, walks, birding and Karamojong cultural visits.

Apoka

The only full-service lodge inside Kidepo Valley National Park itself, perched on a rocky outcrop above the Narus Valley with no fences between camp and the wildlife that wanders through. Ten canvas-walled chalets each come with a private veranda and outdoor rock tub, with lion, leopard and cheetah sometimes visible right from your suite.
