The Semuliki Valley lies on the border of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), south of Lake Albert below the Kijura escarpment. This is on the northern foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, a wonderfully remote introduction to the habitats of a variety of wildlife species.
The Valley is a habitat of very many wildlife species, including both bird species and mammals, and it consists of water bodies and vegetation among other attractions.
The forest around Semuliki valley is the eastern most postponement of the Ituri forest of the Congo basin. As a result, this makes it a good place for the birders, so it acts as a main birding starting point.
The best way to explore Semuliki valley is on foot in order to have a good panoramic view of different physical features. The valley has got several trails that take tourists through antique woodlands, papyrus swamps and hot springs.
