Uganda

Apoka Safari Lodge

PLAN MY TRIP

Set in among the grassy plains and jagged hills of Kidepo in northeastern Uganda, Apoka Safari Lodge is a remote paradise.

Accommodations at the lodge consist of ten spacious canvas rooms surrounding a rocky kopje. Each room comes complete with a sitting room, a hand-crafted bed dressed in a soft duvet and draped with mosquito netting, hand-woven woolen carpets, and extra-large plush towels. There are four twin rooms and six double rooms available. A private veranda has Incredible views of the mountains or savanna and a large stone bathtub perfect for relaxing with a refreshing dip.

Apoka is the only lodge located inside Kidepo Valley National Park. The Park encompasses 557-square miles of rugged savanna overshadowed by 9,020-square foot high Mount Morungole and bisected by the Kidepo and Narus rivers. It is the only Ugandan park where both giraffe and zebra are found together. But Kidepo boasts numerous other magnificent species including lion, leopard, bat-eared foxes, spotted hyenas, and elephant. Some of Africa’s largest buffalo herds flourish alongside hartebeest, waterbuck, bushbuck, warthog, cheetah, and many others. Reptiles in the park include crocodiles, monitor lizards, agamas, skunks, turtles and tortoises. Kanangarok is a tepid hot spring in the extreme north of the park, beside the South Sudanese boundary and is the most permanent source of water in the Park.

Daily game drives are conducted in an open-topped Land Cruiser and led by expert guides and trackers. Game walks led by a knowledgeable guide take a closer look at the flora and fauna or the area. This is the best way to see smaller animals missed by the vehicles. Dining in the middle of the bush is always fun and the lodge offers bush breakfasts, picnics, private bush dinners, and sundowners. Bird watchers will love a chance to spot some of the 460 species of birds found in the Park including fifty-eight types of raptors. Cultural visit travel to Karamojong village to learn about their traditional ways of life.

The main lodge houses an open lounge, dining area, and bar. The lodge’s swimming pool is deep and cool as it has been carved out of a big rock. The large terraces offer panoramic views of the bush and wildlife.
