Kidepo Valley is the most isolated national park in Uganda, located in the far North. However the park is named the 3rd best national park in Africa, harbouring a couple of extinct species of wildlife that can’t be found in any other Ugandan national park. These include the cheetah, caracal, aardwolf, greater and lesser kudu, mountain reedbuck and Guenther’s dik-dik. The endangered Rothschild giraffes are also present in small numbers. Although primarily a savannah reserve, five primate species are present, including the rare and localised patas monkey.
