Previously known as the Toro Game Reserve, Semliki Valley Wildlife Reserve is the oldest protected area in Uganda. Here is where East Africa meets West. It is unique, gifted with geographic barriers that have formed a natural haven for wildlife, where the savannah is criss-crossed by river valleys, and the escarpment, the edge of the Western Rift Valley, plunges into Lake Albert. The habitat diversity (riverine forest, woodland and savannah) within the reserve supports a huge array of fauna including lion, leopard, elephant (both savannah and forest species), buffalo and chimpanzees as well as a staggering number of birds, with over 400 having been recorded.
