Get to know the beauty of Kidepo and Uganda through the northrn Roop

 

Get to know the beauty of Kidepo and Uganda through the Northern Loop to Kidepo on a Uganda Safari Holiday with Gorilla Expeditions that Offers Safaris to Uganda & Rwanda. From our great client !! As I rolled out of the Apoka Safari Lodge I got lost inside the Kidepo Valley National Park in northern Uganda. Well not lost but as I’m self driving myself around all of eastern and northern Uganda, while driving alone over the access road heading for the exit gate to Karenga I saw Kidepo from the front seat. Elephants and buffalo crossing the savannah off to the right as one eye focused on where the wildlife were roaming and the other on an unfinished building structure hanging off a large rock outcrop. An unfinished residency from a time gone past. On any given day driving in Uganda is an adventure. Not an adventure, an art form that reflects controlled chaos. I don’t mind navigating those tricky roundabouts in any half size town while driving British style from the the wrong side of the SUV RAV 4 but not around Kampala. I drive too chaotic on an interstate or an auto bahn, so when miles away in the outskirts of Kampala I leave the chaos to Ssali Billy from Self Drive Uganda. That’s right, for US$ 55 per day (negotiate)plus fuel you control your destiny on the roads of Uganda and if you don’t like the roundabouts in Kampala like me, Billy will catch a mutatu to or from your out of the city cool spot. He’ll get you to hotel and along the way share stories from his years of renting self drives to muzungu tourist. But Billy can as well make your way along the Karamoja Trail.

While on vacation to un familiar destinations in Africa especially in Rwanda and Uganda , usually you need a tour guide when we visiting unfamiliar places, such as a new country, region, or state. Driving on foreign roads, with the help of GPS and trying to find good local attractions can be a challenge. Figuring out where to go takes time and effort, at the same time taking pictures may make a problem and you still can’t really know what a place is actually like until you’ve been there at least once. That’s where a local tour guide’s knowledge can come in handy.thats why its better to have an experience with the Local guide.
