Nature Nest Safaris offers a variety of tours and activities in Semuliki National Park, allowing visitors to experience the best of what this amazing park has to offer. One of the most popular activities in Semuliki is chimpanzee tracking. Chimpanzees are intelligent and social primates, and watching them in their natural habitat is a truly unforgettable experience
Forest elephant encounters
Another special experience that Nature Nest Safaris offers is forest elephant encounters. Forest elephants are smaller and darker than their savanna cousins, and they are also more elusive. This makes them a special treat to see.
Nature Nest Safaris rangers know the best places to find forest elephants, and they will lead visitors to these areas. Once found, visitors can watch the elephants from a safe distance, and learn about their unique behavior and ecology.
Pygmy hippopotamuses are miniature hippos that are found only in a few lowland forests in Central Africa. They are shy and nocturnal, making them difficult to spot. However, Nature Nest Safaris rangers know the best places to find pygmy hippos, and they will lead visitors to these areas in the hope of spotting these unique creatures.
Semuliki National Park is a birder’s paradise, with over 440 bird species recorded. This includes 23 Albertine Rift endemics, such as the Rwenzori turaco, the Ituri batis, and the Ruwenzori apalis.
Nature Nest Safaris offers guided birdwatching tours, led by experienced birding guides. Visitors will learn about the different bird species that can be found in the park, and they will have the opportunity to see some of the rarest and most beautiful birds in Africa.
