Semuliki National Park - Uganda Safari Parks

SEMLIKI NATIONAL PARK

Semliki National Park (SNP) is situated in the extreme west of Uganda in Bundibugyo district. It lies along the Uganda/ Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) border within the western arm of the East African Rift Valley. In the southeast are the Rwenzori Mountains, to the west is the Democratic Republic of Congo and to the north are the Semliki flats and Lake Albert further on.
Semliki National Park is an eastern extension of the vast Ituri forest in Democratic Republic of Congo. It forms part of the forest continuum resulting out of the climatic upheavals of the Pleistocene and therefore one of the richest areas for both flora and fauna in Africa (especially birds).
