Things to do while staying at Adere Safari Lodge
Game drives in Kidepo Valley National Park
Game drives are one of the main highlights of staying at Adere Safari Lodge. Kidepo Valley National Park is known for its rich wildlife, and during drives, guests may encounter giraffes, buffalo, elephants, zebras, warthogs, and a variety of antelope species. Predators such as lions and cheetahs can also be seen, although sightings depend on timing and conditions. Kidepo is also unique in Uganda for having both ostriches and cheetahs in the same ecosystem, which adds to the park’s appeal.
Nature walks and birdwatching
Nature walks provide a more relaxed way to explore the park and are ideal for guests who want to experience the landscape at a slower pace. Birdwatching is also rewarding, with a wide range of species found across the savannah and surrounding areas.
Swimming pool and relaxation
After a full day exploring the park, the lodge’s swimming pool offers a place to cool off and relax. This is especially useful given Kidepo’s warm and dry climate. Guests can enjoy the pool while taking in the surrounding wilderness, often with a drink from the bar.
Community and cultural visits
Because the lodge is located near the edge of the park, it provides easier access to nearby communities. This makes it a good option for travelers interested in cultural visits and learning more about the local way of life in the Kidepo region
