evidence: Semuliki is so remote, it feels like a whole other country. The fact that it is completely cut off by the Rwenzori Mountains makes that feeling even more pronounced. [...] Semliki is also home to primates such as chimps, vervet monkeys, baboons, mangabeys, pottos and galagoes to mention a few. Semliki National Park lies at the border with Congo just like Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi further south in the same Albertine rift valley. It measures about 220 square kilometres and was gazetted as a national park in 1993. It had been a forest reserve since 1932. The main attraction in the park remains the Sempaya hot springs.
