Semliki Safari Lodge

Under the same ownership as Apoka Lodge, Semliki Safari Lodge offers top notch accommodation in the remote Semliki Wildlife Reserve.

It has eight luxury en-suite tents with elevated, hardwood floors and thatch roofs: there are three double, one family and four twin tents. Hot drinks are served in the mornings, enabling guests to savour the surroundings from bed or from the comfort of a private veranda. The main building sits on a hill overlooking a wooded valley with the Rwenzoris in the distance. Guests enjoy plush seating in the spacious dining area with its traditional décor. An airy lounge has comfortable sofas and armchairs, a bar and patio from where forest views are superb and the ambience conducive to relaxation. By night, lanterns are used to light up the property, adding to the remote and secluded feel of this enchanting location.

When not being spoilt by the attentive staff, guests can choose from a selection of activities, including guided exploration of miles of trails cut through the riverine forest and savannah mosaic (two game-related activities are included in the rates). It is worth noting that not only does proprietor Jonathan Wright have three impeccable properties in Uganda, but he is also a Lifetime Honorary Warden of UWA due to his exemplary contributions to conservation in Uganda. Through the Semliki Conservation Trust, many projects are under way to assist permanently resident communities in the area in terms of development and health.
