Today, immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Ik people, an ethnic group of around 10,000 individuals living in the Morungule Mountains. Displaced from their land to create Kidepo Valley National Park, the Ik experienced hardship, including famine and tribal raids. Despite these challenges, they have maintained a unique culture. Spend the day with them, learning about their subsistence farming, grain grinding, and small village life, surrounded by protective walls. Accommodation: Kidepo Savannah Lodge Meal Plan: Full Board.
