DAY 2 Kidepo valley national park – Morning game drive to Narus Valley – Visit Karamojong communities.

After a hearty breakfast at your lodge, depart for an early morning game drive to the Narus Valley. Narus Valley is a grassland plain with distant mountains that serves as a permanent water supply for the park’s mammals. As a result, the area has excellent game drive tracks for exploring a variety of wildlife species such as Jackson’s hartebeest, Lions, Caped buffaloes, Oribis, Rothschild giraffes, oribis, reedbucks, cheetahs, and ostriches. After your half-day game drive to Narus Valley, return to your lodge for refreshments and lunch before heading to the Manyatta communities of the Karamojong tribe in the evening. The Karamojong are nomadic pastoralists who live in African-style manyattas, which are uniquely constructed houses.
A visit to Karamojong communities will teach you a lot about their culture, art and crafts, and entertainment using traditional sound equipment, traditional songs and dances that will leave you speechless. Dinner and an overnight stay.
