Semuliki National Park

Semuliki National Park is located in Bwamba County, a remote and scenic part of Bundibugyo District in western Uganda, along the edge of the Albertine Rift Valley. The park is defined by a rare blend of ecosystems, including lowland tropical rainforest, open grasslands, wetlands and geothermal hot springs, creating one of the most unique landscapes in East Africa. It is a biodiversity hotspot, home to over 400 bird species, more than 300 butterfly species, and a variety of primates, alongside larger wildlife such as elephants, buffalo, waterbuck, crocodiles and warthog. Visitors can explore forest trails on guided hikes, experience the steaming Sempaya Hot Springs, enjoy birdwatching and encounter the rich cultural heritage of the Batwa communities. With its dense jungle, unusual geothermal features and exceptional wildlife diversity, Semuliki offers a truly immersive rainforest safari experience.
