Few accommodation facilities provide the opportunity to step back in time and when you meet one, then count yourself lucky. Semliki Safari Lodge is one of those places. This spectacular and rustic place of stay is marked by golden-hued Safari Tents and classic safari décor that are surprisingly similar to those of the Exploration era. Being the only Safari Lodge in Semliki National Park, staying at this secluded and private Lodge is unforgettable and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Semliki Safari Lodge is incredibly decorated with huge and chunky furniture, comfortable beds with soft pillows and clean linen, warm central fireplaces, and stunning hardwood floors that provide luxury, ultimate privacy, and comfort after spending time discovering the beauty of one of Uganda’s rarest and remotest Safari destinations. While staying at Semliki Safari Lodge, you will not just enjoy comfort and privacy but be contributing to the conservation of surrounding natural environment and directly supporting community-based projects around the Protected Area.
