Kent Safari Tours, Inc. invites adventurers to experience a comprehensive 6-day wildlife journey through two of Uganda's premier national parks: Kidepo Valley and Murchison Falls. Located in northern Uganda's varied landscape of savannas and rugged valleys, this expedition combines remote wilderness with abundant wildlife, providing a deep dive into East Africa’s lesser-traveled wild spaces.
The trip begins in Kampala, routing travelers northward to the Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Sanctuary. Here, guests embark on rhino tracking in an environment dedicated to restoring Uganda’s once-extinct rhino populations. Beyond rhinos, the sanctuary is home to a diverse array of animals and over 350 bird species, setting the tone for the rich biodiversity ahead.
Next, the remote Kidepo Valley National Park offers expansive savanna and semi-arid terrains rarely disturbed by tourist crowds. Famous for large buffalo herds and a unique set of wildlife—including elusive cheetahs and ostriches not found in other Ugandan parks—Kidepo promises authentic game drives and a cultural encounter with the Karamajong tribe. Their traditional lifestyle and crafts provide a meaningful glimpse into the region’s human heritage.
The final leg moves to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest protected area, where the mighty Nile forces its way through a narrow gorge creating a powerful waterfall. Guests can embark on game drives witnessing lions, giraffes, and numerous antelope species, then cruise the Nile to spot hippos, crocodiles, and exotic birdlife up close. A guided hike to the top of Murchison Falls caps the adventure with breathtaking views of one of Africa’s most dramatic waterways.
Kent Safari Tours’ experienced guides, careful itinerary planning, and convenient accommodations ensure an immersive, safe, and engaging connection to Uganda’s wilderness. This combination of diverse ecosystems, rich wildlife, cultural insights, and iconic Ugandan landmarks makes the 6-day wildlife safari a standout offering for travelers seeking an authentic African adventure.
