The first option is the 300 km, 4-hour drive via Mubende, and the other alternative is through Mbarara, which is considered to be the longer route, but it also offers stopovers at Lake Mburo and Queen Elizabeth National Park.

The Lowland Forest. This is Uganda’s only lowland tropical rainforest, showing ecological ties to the Congo Basin rather than East Africa. It is a birding haven, and it hosts over 440 bird species, including Central African specials like the Congo serpent eagle and Nkulengu rail. It has geothermal springs that are not common everywhere, and it is home to the Sempaya Hot Springs, featuring male (Bintente) and female (Nyasimbi) geysers that boil over 100°C
The Hot Springs Visit, where you walk along the boardwalk to see the boiling geysers and local cultural displays. These are very interesting and unique features and attract large numbers of people. Some activities, like boiling eggs and matoke, can be done here, creating a very memorable moment. Guided Nature Walks are done here to explore forest trails to spot primates and exotic birds. Community Tours can’t miss where we meet four distinct neighboring ethnic groups, i.e., the Bwamba, Bakonjo, Batuku, and Batwa pygmies
The best time to visit Uganda for tourism activities is always during the dry Seasons from June to August and December to February that offer easier hiking conditions and better road access. The wet seasons are from March to May and September to November that bring heavier rain but lush scenery and quieter trails. This rainfall sometimes makes the trails and the roads very impassable and therefore attracts very few visitors from around the world
The National Park is situated in western Uganda along the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, near Lake Albert and the Rwenzori foothills. It is approximately 350km from Kampala the capital city of Uganda, using the Mubende route. It is bordered by the Kibale Forest National Park, and it is roughly a 5-hour drive from Kampala or 40 minutes flight from Kamappala to Toro-Semliki, kilometers from Kampala, usually reached by road via Fort Portal
