The road from Fort Portal to NP Semuliky
Across the mountains to the jungle plain
If you want to visit the interesting Ugandan National Park Semuliky, the ideal starting point is the town of Fort Portal (1,650 m above sea level). It is about 50 kilometers on an unpaved road to the jungle plain. The road to the park itself is nice thanks to overcoming the northern end of the famous Ruwenzori Mountains
Downhill to the lowland via Buranga Pass
From Fort Portal, a shared van national park runs towards. Just wait until it fills up and you can go. The road is becoming more interesting in places where it crosses the Buranga Pass (1,180 m) and the road begins to descend to the lowlands. The surrounding hills are practically totally deforested with fields and meadows.

Forage harvesters
Along the way you will also meet a number of green forage pickers for cattle
Waterfalls by the road

View of the lowland forest
Finally, the beautiful view of the lowland tropical forest, which falls under the protection of the Semuliky National Park, will open up here. We see the bends of the river, behind which the Republic of Congo is already
