The journey

One week, from the Nile to Kidepo

Start at the Source of the Nile, climb into the coffee country around Sipi Falls, then cross into Karamoja: Pian Upe's open wildlife plains, a hike on Mt. Kadam with a night in a community kraal, mining communities and a waterfall hike near Moroto, and finally the savannah of Kidepo Valley National Park.

Every stop is led by local guides, and community visits are arranged with the people who live there, so what you see is theirs to show.
