Kibale National Park & Semuliki National Park Holidays

What can you find in Kibale and Semuliki National Parks that you won't find anywhere else?

Stretching across 296 square miles in western Uganda, Kibale National Park is an alluring patchwork of varied landscapes (including evergreen forest, semi-deciduous forest, grassland and swamps), with some extraordinary biodiversity to match. The park is home to over 70 mammal species, 13 types of primate and 325 different species of bird. Despite this impressive cast of creatures, larger mammals and predators can be challenging to spot among the thick vegetation, yet thankfully tracking primates is an easier task and Kibale National Park holidays offer some of Uganda’s best chimpanzee trekking.

Located only half an hour’s drive away, Semuliki National Park holidays blend beautifully with time spent in Kibale National Park. As the only tropical lowland rainforest in East Africa, Semuliki forms a bridge between the highlands of East Africa and the dense jungles of Central Africa. The unique climate and landscapes mean it plays host to some species found nowhere else in the country, such as pygmy antelopes, spot-breasted ibis and western bronze-naped pigeons. With over 410 species of bird inhabiting the skies above the park, Semuliki is also renowned as a prime East African birding destination.
