Semliki Wildlife Reserve
The river Nile runs through it dividing it into 2, one half
being dense forest and the other plains and Savannah. The forest
is occupied by yet again, primates. Such include the Chimpanzee
and other monkeys as well. One can
take boat trips up and down the river to catch site of the
many Hippos that laze along the river banks. The boat trip
was a highlight of this park when tourism in Uganda was at
its peak in the 60s and 70s.
Visitors to the park are slowly trickling
back in and once word gets around, the boats will again be
busy with curious tourists just like in the 60s.
