Located in the remote Kidepo Valley National Park, the tranquil Apoka Safari Lodge is blends effortlessly into the park’s natural surrounds. Here, protected by a rocky hill, just 10 beautifully furnished rooms offer endless views across the grassy savannah, and interiors that take their cue from the environment. Rock, wood and natural hues work alongside hand-crafted wooden beds, which are romantically draped with soft, mosquito nets. Hand-woven woollen carpets offer an element of added warmth and secluded sitting rooms and private verandas cater for quiet moments. A lovely ensuite bathroom features a large tropical shower and deep outdoor bathtub – the perfect refuge after a successful day of game viewing. Massive boulders surround a sparkling swimming pool hewn out of the rock, while the main sitting room provides the perfect setting to while away the hours with a good book or a fun-filled board game.
At Apoka guests can walk with trained guides, tracking game along a sandy dry riverbed or swim in Uganda's only rock pool, and watch the animals at their watering hole at the same time. Game drives set out in search of the local wildlife and include thrilling spotlit night drives. Wildlife in kidepo is abundant. Lions, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, zebra (this is Uganda's only park where giraffe and zebra are found together), possibly Africas largest herds of buffalo, hartebeest, waterbuck, bushbuck, warthog...the list is endless. Better still, much of it can be seen from the privacy of your veranda or your outdoor bathtub, but the best way to see the wildlife is up close, on foot.
