The collision of several habitats creates an environment that is Uniquely Semliki.  

The central African rainforest rubs up agains the East African savannah and the species reflect this varied habitat.  Forest elephant roam alongside savannah elephant, chimps hoot from the treetops by the lodge and leopards prowl around the site at night.

The reserve is remote, not heavily trafficked by tourists.  The lodge, built in the grand African Safari tradition is secluded and intimate. With a maximum of 18 guests we promise excellent service and attention to detail…and an unforgettable experience. 

Our guests stay in golden-hued tents with gleaming hardwood floors. Staying under canvas is one of the most romantic and exciting things to do in on safari in Africa. You hear the sounds, you feel the wind, you smell the rain before it comes. But this isn’t roughing it either: the tents are protected by a thick thatch roof and feature en-suite bathrooms with running water, hot showers and flush toilets. 

Semliki is mecca for enthusiastic birders with recent counts recording in the region of 500 species, of which a good number are Albertine Rift endemics.  Semliki is also the best place in Uganda to see the Shoebill.
