Location of Semuliki National Park, attractions to see in Semuliki National Park on a Uganda birding safari, activities during a Semuliki safari in Uganda, where to stay & how to get there. Semuliki National Park is situated in the western region of Uganda, along the border with Democratic Republic of Congo, in Bundibugyo district, Bwamba County; Semuliki National Park is one of the newest and smallest parks in Uganda. It covers a total area of about 220Km², spanning on a lowland Forest, which is literally the only Lowland rainforest in East Africa that stretches up to about 194Km². It derives its name from the most significant feature, River Semuliki. Semuliki National Park is bordered by the Rwenzori Mountains in the South-east and Lake Albert in the extreme North. It lies within the Albertine rift valley and Western arm of the East African rift valley; with gently flat landscape elevated to about 2,200 to 2,490ft altitude. However, the park has a valley near the western side of the Rwenzori Mountains, characterized by a forest, having trees like oil palm; and the Semuliki River. In the early days, the area was a hunting ground for the Batwa pygmys, a tribe belonging to the Bantu Ethnic group. However, in 1932, during the colonial period, the colonial government gazetted the area into a forest reserve. This was done to protect the forest from de-afforestation by the locals in the surrounding communities.
However, in 1993, the reserve was declared a National park by the Ugandan Government. Due to its geographical location at coordinates 00 50°N 30 03°E, lying on the Western Arm of the Great East African Rift Valley, Semuliki National park receives an average annual rainfall of about 1,250mm. The rainy season is highest in the months of March to May. It also rains in the months of September to November. The rest of the year is the dry season with temperatures ranging from 19 to 31°C. During the rainy season, the park gets flooded. This is because the park has a moderate drainage system, with all streams and rivers draining within the park. However, the climate favours vegetation growth and can be endured by the wildlife. Vegetation of the park is mainly medium altitude with moist evergreen to semi deciduous forest; with a dominant tree species of the Alexandra Cynometra tree. It has about 336 tree species, about 24 only found in the park. Some of the other tree species include oil palm, cordia milleni and many more.
