On the edge of one of the most beautiful national parks in Uganda (Kidepo Valley National Park), Kidepo Savannah Lodge does justice to this wildlife gem which has received several international awards as one of the greatest Parks of Africa. Being just 500 m away from Kalokudo gate, the lodge is literally on a stone’s throw away from the park. It offers unparallel vistas of the expansive Narus Valley, Mount Morungole and the distant mountain ranges which form the border with Southern Sudan.
The lodge is inspired by the savannah surroundings, the grasslands, rocky outcrops, and … by the karamajong, the tribe with their typical manyattas and colorful blankets.
The lodge had to blend in rather than stick out, so it was constructed with options between the more luxurious self-contained safari tents and comfortable lazy camping tents.
Accommodation:
Safari Tent
Kidepo Savannah Lodge boasts twelve beautifully appointed safari tents on raised decks. Each of the spacious tents has a private verandah offering splendid views of the mighty savannah. Comfortably furnished with 1 double or 2 single beds, all safari tents have an en suite bathroom with 24 hours hot showers, running water for hand-basins and a flushing toilet.
Tent
As a budget option, Kidepo Savannah Lodge offers 9 non-self-contained tents. These are comfortably furnished with 2 single or 1 double beds, a bedside table and a power outlet for charging your electrical equipment. The views into the park are vast and magnificent with an occasional herd of elephants or buffaloes passing by. The tents share a communal ablution block with hot showers and flushing toilets. No need to worry about linen as all bedding and towels are provided.
Restaurant & Bar:
The thatched dining and bar area offer one of the finest views over the Park. The vistas stretching up to southern Sudan are just breathtaking but so are the starry skies. Away from the light pollution that comes with civilization, you will be amazed of what is above us.
From the wooden deck in front of our restaurant one can often witness the milky-way like only National Geographic’s is able to catch.
Dinners are 4 course meals while during lunch 2 courses are served. Because everything on site runs off +solar, including the fridges and freezers, we work with a fixed menu but if you have any dietary requirement we will be happy to cater for your request. Kindly let us know in time.
You are on your holiday so… breakfast, lunch and dinner have flexible times. We will adapt us to your time schedule, nothing too early; nothing too late.
