English: Kidepo Valley National Park is known for its diverse wildlife, including elephants. Elephants are one of the iconic and sought-after sightings in the park. Kidepo Valley National Park is home to both African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) and African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis). The park provides a suitable habitat for elephants, with open grasslands, woodlands, and water sources that support their needs. Elephants are often seen in small family groups or larger herds.
