Situated in the northeast part of Uganda on the borders of Sudan and Kenya, lies the Kidepo Valley National Park. Dominated by the 2750 metres of Mount Morungole and transected by the Kidepo and Narus Rivers, it offers 1,442 square kilometres of breathtaking landscapes and unique flora. It is a treasure chest of dry-country species (not found anywhere else in Uganda) including lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, and greater kudu, as well 475 bird species. The conditions and features of this park - and most notably the diverse flora and fauna - are often compared to those of Kenya, rather than to the rest of Uganda.
