Wild, unrestrained and jam-packed with an astonishing amount of wildlife, nothing prepares you for the remoteness of Kidepo Valley. Even more surprising then is Apoka, the beautiful 10-room lodge in the heart of the park. Built entirely by local craftsmen, it’s as sustainable as it is stylish and all rooms have been designed to make the most of the glorious surroundings, from the ever-glinting golden plains to the jagged rocky outcrops. Activities are superb and as the only lodge in the entire 1,500 square kilometres, the park is yours and yours alone. Apoka may be as far from civilisation as you could possibly get, but that’s all part of the charm.
An authentic tented camp in Uganda's extraordinary northern safari park.
Uganda's landscape is seductive, from its snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains to immense Lake Victoria, from remote Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to Murchison Falls National Park. Set in its northeast, Kidepo National Park is a rolling, short-grass savanna sprawl of 1,442 square kilometres, ringed by mountains. Here you'll find a fabulous spectrum of wildlife, from elephant and lion to zebra, antelope, and more antelope. Kidepo Savannah Lodge sits just outside the park, with boundary-less accesses. Stationed on a small rocky outcrop, this tented camp offers terrific service, modest luxury and a truly uncommon vantage of the Narus Valley.
Adere Safari Lodge, where your safari promises to be memorable, restful, worthwhile and transformational. Whether it is a drive through the vast savannah of Kidepo, a sunset dinner, an early morning watching of the sun as it rises, or a community visit and leisurely walkabout, may your time at Adere create beautiful memories. Enjoy a broad range of activities, and retire to your comfortable cottage at the end of it all, or perhaps go for a relaxing dip in the pool.
