What makes Kidepo Savannah Lodge special?
Great Location: Just 500m away from Kalokudo Gate, Kidepo Savannah Lodge is a stone’s throw away from the national park. It offers unparalleled vistas of the expansive Narus Valley, Mount Morungole and the distant mountain ranges which form the border with Southern Sudan.
Inspired by the wild: The lodge is inspired by the vast savannah surroundings and the Karamojong, a tribe with traditional manyattas and colourful blankets. The lodge blends into the environment rather than sticking out, and truly feels like part of the wilderness.
