Semuliki National Park is a Ugandan park which is located in Western Uganda. The park lies on the floor of the Albertine rift valley. The park was one of the oldest reserves in Uganda. It gained the reserve status in 1932 and was named “Semuliki Forest reserve” however it was upgraded to a national park status 70 years later in 1993. The park is accessible by road from Kampala, the capital city of Uganda using two routes.  The Kampala –Fort Portal via Mubende which is about 290km and  Kampala-Fort Portal via Mbarara and Kasese which is about 465km. Although the latter is the longest route, it offers rare en-route game drive experiences.  Chartered flights are also possible from Entebbe international airport to an airstrip in Toro Semuliki.
