The most regular wildlife species which can be easily sighted in the parks include elephants, buffalos, kobs, and several other antelope species. Cats like leopards and lions are also present but are normally seen in early mornings and late evening’s game drives.
Whereas each park shelters a particular wildlife species, Kidepo’s 28 endemic species stand out of all. The bat-eared fox, the  wolf, the cheetah, and ostrich are some of those animals you will not find elsewhere in Uganda Safari National parks. Despite its location in remote areas of Karamoja region in the far north east of Uganda, Kidepo remains one of exceptional and safe haven for travelers on wildlife safari tours to Uganda.
