Apoka Safari Lodge is a beautiful lodge set on a ridge overlooking the wide plains of Kidepo Valley National Park. The views are stunning, with rolling hills, savannah, and mountains in the distance, giving a real sense of being out in the wild. The lodge has comfortable rooms and suites with private verandas or seating areas where you can enjoy the sunrise, sunset, or even watch wildlife from your room.

The main lodge has a spacious lounge and restaurant where all meals are served — breakfast after the morning game drive, lunch during the day, and dinner in the evening. The food is a mix of local and international dishes, fresh and hearty.

Apoka is the perfect base to explore Kidepo. You can do morning and afternoon game drives in open safari vehicles with experienced guides who know the park and the animals well. You can expect to see lion, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, cheetah and plenty of antelope. Birdlife is also great, with colourful species like carmine bee-eater, ostrich and kori bustard often spotted along the way. What makes Apoka special is how remote and peaceful it feels — it’s a real escape into nature. Watching wildlife at a waterhole, enjoying a sundowner on the deck, or falling asleep under the stars makes your stay unforgettable.
