Culinary

Whether in the restaurant with a dreamlike view of the waterhole or at the evening barbecue buffet served at the outdoor pool decorated with torches and lanterns - the freshly prepared cuisine of Apoka Safari Lodge leaves nothing to be desired. Special experiences such as sipping fruity sundowner cocktails in the canopy of a fig tree or a lovingly created menu with a panoramic view of the untouched nature become an effortless matter of course here.

Location

Far away from civilization, cities and tourist centers, you will experience a pristine piece of Africa in Kidepo Valley National Park. Located in northeastern Uganda on the border with Sudan, the park is one of the most species-rich and natural wildlife reserves on the continent. Giraffes and zebras live here side by side with lions, elephants, cheetahs, buffaloes and antelopes. Apoka Safari Lodge pays special attention to the promotion and integration of local people - so during your stay at the lodge you can take a trip to nearby Lokorul and prepare traditional dishes together with the villagers or be introduced to the typical dances of the region.

Activities

With morning and evening game drives in open all-terrain vehicles, childhood dreams come true at Apoka Safari Lodge. Accompany the experienced, local rangers on their daily tours and walks through the park and keep an eye out for the famous Big Five. After your safari adventures, the outdoor pool invites you to swim and relax. Especially worthwhile are the excursions to the neighboring village, where you can help make traditional animal enclosures or be initiated into the culinary specialties of Uganda.
