Come arrivare al Parco Nazionale Semuliki
By road, Semuliki National Park is about 27km from Fort Portal & the direct route is cut off by the Monti Rwenzori, where a detour to the north is needed to drive through the Buranga Pass into the Semuliki valley.
However, there are two different routes that can connect Fort Portal to Kampala city. 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.
Dopo aver approfondito la fauna selvatica del parco, come arrivare al parco, gli incontri culturali unici con la comunità Batwa, le maestose sorgenti termali nel parco e gli meravigliosi sforzi di conservazione compiuti dal governo per proteggere le specie di primati in via di estinzione, il Parco Nazionale di Semuliki è una visita imperdibile per gli appassionati di fauna selvatica e uccelli.

Domande frequenti
What makes Semuliki National Park unique?
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
What are the main activities?
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
Quando è il momento migliore per visitare
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
How do I get there and where is it located?
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
