The Morungole Mountain Range, rising to an elevation of 2,750 meters above sea level, dominates the park’s southern boundary. This mountain range forms an ecological transition zone, supporting different vegetation types from the lower-lying savannah. Other geological features include expansive granite outcrops, volcanic ridges, and steep escarpments, which influence the park’s hydrology and animal movement.
The topography in Kidepo includes dramatic contrasts. It consists of broad valley floors (ranging from 914- 1219m) bounded by mountain ranges, the highest being the 2749m Morungole peak. The park contains two main valleys which contain the Narus and Kidepo rivers. These valleys drain northwards and converge near the Sudan border. The Narus Valley lies in the South-west of the park. It is bordered by the Napore Range on the southwest and to the north-east by the high ground of Lopetapara and Lomej. In the North and East is Kidepo Valley, bordered to the south by the Morungole Range and to the North by Lotukei in Sudan, and the Zulia Mountains.
