Understanding the New Activity on Board; The Kidepo Lonyiri Nature Walk


The wilderness always has a lot to see and the best way is by getting there yourself so never miss the opportunity to tour a pristine wilderness like Kidepo Valley, it’s non-rivalled. For its stunning beauty and great wilderness, Kidepo Valley National Park has been known worldwide and one of the reasons for Uganda wildlife safaris. With the many activities there here comes Lonyiri Nature Walk, a new Uganda safari activity at Kidepo Valley National Park. In the search of wildlife, bird species, insects, flora and the people of this place, many activities have been carried out and the nature walk is becoming one of them. And just before you thought it’s a simple walk, the Lonyiri nature walk indulges you in nature for 25km in the wilderness that hosts untamed wild species.
If you are longing to have a feel of nature within a close range to wildlife, the 25km Lonyiri Nature walks away from the busy park is the new way to get a quiet walk in this extensive shrubland. The 25km Lonyiri Nature Walk brings you to Napusmur summit in just eight hours depending on when the hike is started. As quoted from a statement made by Mr Zacharia Lokwee, a tourist guide at Kidepo Valley National Park, the main idea of introducing the Lonyiri nature walk is to capture the imagination and creativity of tourists by giving them a particular pursuit when involved in a nature walk. “They do this by creating some kind of a guide or collection in whatever interests them. They get to make their own guide, booklet, or collection from their discoveries,” said Mr Lokwee.

On this walk, your rewards are only limited by your imagination and willingness for fitness adventure. If you need a psychological boost then this is one of the best options to take on since psychologically walking in untamed environments and having exposure to nature reduces stress and boots well-being by reducing obsessive, negative thoughts. Besides this being one of the new activities in Kidepo Valley National Park, a two-day nature walk could also be organized with shorter guided walks taken through the Narus Valley extending to over 10km up to Akonya Rock.
