Early light slices across the Narus Valley and the air smells of sun-baked grass and dust. On a four-day circuit through Kidepo Valley National Park you feel the landscape push back — ridgelines that hold herds, dry riverbeds that channel the park’s life, and kopjes where predators watch the plain.
