5 Days Primates Jungle Safari to Semliki and Queen Elizabeth National Parks

Day 1: Kampala - Semliki National Park
Start an early drive to drive to Semliki wildlife Reserve. The drive will take you down the eastern side of Lake Albert. Situated in the basin of the western Rift valley, Semliki National Park is one of the parks with many habitats ranging from Riparian forests, rain forests to short and high grass savannah, famously known for tree climbing lions. It is also know for its night game drives that reward you with nocturnal dwellers like the white tailed mongoose and slender mongoose, standard and pennant winged nightjars, cats, hyenas, leopards and many more. This is the only place in Uganda where you can do a spot lit night drive. The park generally offers lots of surprises because you never know what you might find. Overnight at Semliki safari Lodge/Kanyankyu Ecological site

Day 2: Primate tracking
Have a cup of tea / coffee and proceed down into the beautiful gallery rainforest to track wild chimpanzees. These are usually tracked at dawn or dusk due to the fact that these apes tend to disappear in the middle of the day. There are also a number of bird species which are found in this picturesque forest. Retire from the chimp search and then in the afternoon you may relax at the pool or go for a game drive as you watch the sun dip. Overnight at Semliki safari Lodge/Kanyankyu Ecological site
