Mount Morungole (2,2749m) lies partly in Kidepo Valley National Park of Uganda and South Sudan and is home to the Ik-People that have moved to the mountains during the creation of the National Park. Neighbouring peaks are Mount Zulia, and the Labwor and Dodoth Hills reach heights in excess of 2,000 meters.

The people of Mount Morungole

The Ik are the smallest indigenous tribe in Uganda and live from communal agriculture and are famous for their beekeeping. Their huts look like any other, but they reach up to 2 meters under the ground.
