Semliki Safari Lodge

a pioneering area for conservation

Semliki Safari Lodge is located in the Semliki area of western Uganda.

Set inside the national park, the lodge is centred on an open-sided thatched main building with comfortable lounge and dining areas, leading out to pleasant gardens and a modest swimming pool area.

It is important to note that this lodge is an outpost for conservation in an area that really needs help. The reserve is far from pristine and the wildlife can be thin on the ground, but your visit will be highly appreciated and the experience should be all the more precious.
