Apoka Safari Lodge is a high-end Lodge situated in the farthest corner of Northern Uganda, in the remote Kidepo Valley National Park, bordering South Sudan. When you close your eyes and think of Africa, the landscape you imagine – the jagged hills, the golden grasses, the plains dotted with wildlife, the soft glowing light, is likely to be Kidepo. Apoka Safari Lodge is relaxed, providing a peaceful and private experience. The incredible Wildlife is viewed from the privacy of your veranda or your private outdoor stone bathtub, but the best way to see the wildlife is up close: on foot, or in one of our open-top Landcruisers. The swimming pool at Apoka Lodge – deep and cool – has been carved out of a big rock. This is the kind of pool that makes you want to jump in, splashing and yelling, feeling like a kid again. 

The 10 expansive rooms are handmade by local craftsmen, with natural canvas walls surround a rocky kopje with endless views across the savannah. Featuring sitting rooms, private verandas, big hand-hewn beds with soft duvets, hand-woven woolen carpets, extra large plush towels & oversized dressing gowns. You may be as far away from the city as you’ll ever be, but you won’t miss a thing. Wildlife in Kidepo is abundant. Lions, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, zebra, Africa’s 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, or in one of our open-top Landcruisers.
