Our 4-Day Kidepo Valley Fly-In Safari is designed for those who have limited time to travel from Kampala to Kidepo Valley National Park and prefer a quicker option by flying. This safari significantly reduces travel time, allowing you to reach Kidepo in just two hours.

Encounter Africa Safari’s Kidepo flying safaris are well-planned to showcase this pristine part of the country. We partner with Aerolink Uganda and Fly Uganda for our flights.
