Uganda: Uganda Wildlife Authority scrapped guided nature walk fees to view Sempaya Hot springs in Semuliki National Park!

The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) is no longer charging fees for guided nature walks to view the Sempaya hot springs in Semuliki National Park in Uganda. Visitors to the hot springs will only have to pay the usual park entry fees; no further charges will be levied. Other products, such as birding and nature walks, will be paid for according to UWA tariffs, available on the official website of the Uganda Wildlife Authority [pdf].
Semuliki National Park is located in westen Uganda. The Park's Sempaya Gate is 59 km from Fort Portal, while the headquarters of the National Park at Ntandi is 6 km further along the road. Semuliki National Park was founded in 1993 and covers an area of 220km². It is one of the richest areas of floral and faunal diversity in Africa and home to 441 recorded bird species and 53 mammals.

We have scrapped guided nature walk fees to view Sempaya Hot springs in Semuliki National Park. Visitors will only pay park entrance fees and no further charges to view the hot springs. We hope this will improve visitor experience in the park.
