It was a very hard Game Drive

Uganda-Kenya

The early morning game drives in Kidepo valley national park begin as early as 6:00 a.m. After a hot cup of coffee, you will set out to seek these species on the savanna plains. Highlights for the early morning game drive include Lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, elands, Jackson’s hartebeests, zebras, and many others. During the dry seasons, all of these animals cluster in the Narus valley, the only source of water. The park is famous for its massive herds of buffaloes that stretch to the horizon. You will be driving around the various routes in your specialized safari vehicle to spot these animals. It is recommended that you bring an armed ranger because they know where the animals were last spotted, and they can protect you in the wilderness. They also know the best trails to take to increase your chances of seeing wildlife. Lions are easily visible on dry ground or high on the park’s numerous granite outcrops. The elusive leopard can also be seen atop leopard rock as it seeks refuge from the mid-morning and afternoon sun.
