The fact that mount Morungole is the highest mountain in the Karamoja region, forms one of the critical factors when it comes to climate modification which affected the wildlife movements within the park. The presence of this mountain has posed several tourism attractions within the really interesting park and this is why tourists find it so interesting and adorable.
Mt Morungole acts as a water catchment area for rivers Narus and Kidepo. The rain season makes different streams pour into these rivers and floods the valley and this makes the vegetation regenerate as wildlife especially animals celebrate their increased food availability. Usually, the valley is a hub to several travelers visiting the Kidepo valley National park since it is in the valley that presents high chances of seeing the animals. During the rainy season, however, water levels reduce, and because of these some of the animals are forced to migrate into deeper areas of the park for hibernation.

Travelers who have never visited the park may find its true nature in its form and have always described it as a wonderful mountain for hiking safaris amidst flat plains.
