Apoka Safari Lodge

Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda

A remote lodge in one of Africa’s least-visited major parks, built into a rocky outcrop overlooking Kidepo’s vast valleys.

Overview

Apoka Safari Lodge sits on a rocky outcrop within Kidepo Valley National Park, widely regarded as one of Africa’s most beautiful and least-visited parks, its remote location in Uganda’s far northeast keeping visitor numbers extremely low.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Cottages built into the surrounding rock, each with a private veranda facing Kidepo’s sweeping valley views.

Food & Service

Ugandan and international dishes served with panoramic valley views, in a lodge whose isolation makes for a genuinely unhurried atmosphere.

Activities

Game drives across Kidepo’s Narus and Kidepo valleys, cultural visits to Karamojong communities, and walks with armed rangers.

Wildlife & Photography

Kidepo holds species found nowhere else in Uganda, including cheetah, ostrich and greater and lesser kudu, alongside significant lion and buffalo populations.

A Photographer's Note

Kidepo’s near-total absence of other vehicles at most sightings makes it one of the most reliable places in East Africa for uninterrupted, uncrowded wildlife photography.

Conservation & Impact

The lodge supports Kidepo’s ranger capacity in one of Uganda’s most remote and historically under-resourced protected areas, alongside partnerships with local Karamojong communities.
