	Semuliki National Park

	Semuliki National Park contains a secluded forest area at the base of the “ Mountains Of the Moon” – Mount Rwenzori on the Congolese border. The remote location makes it an ideal place to spend a few days relaxing away from the rest of the world. Semuliki is the only Ugandan Park composed primarily of tropical lowland forest. This flat landscape offers a stark contrast to the rugged Rwenzori Mountains nearby. The Sempaya Hot springs contains a mosaic of different micro habitats which provide for a diversity of wildlife. The Semliki River is a watering point for many animals.
	There are a large number of natural hot springs which attract large numbers of shorebirds and is a great supplier of salt to other animals. There are grasslands, wetlands and bamboo forest. Also in the park one may come across the small Pigmy culture living nearby. The park is accessed by a rough road 2-3 hours from Fort Portal. Some of the animals to be seen include elephant, buffalo, leopard, civet, scaly tailed flying squirrel and bush baby. There are 8 species of primate as well as 400 species of bird and nearly 300 species of butterfly.
