Semuliki National Park lies on Uganda's border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Rwenzori Mountains are to the south-east of the park, while Lake Albert is to the park's north. The park lies within the Albertine Rift, the western arm of the East African Rift. The park is located on a flat to gently undulating landform that ranges from 670 to 760 m (2200 to 2490 ft) above sea level. The park experiences an average rainfall of 1250 mm (49in), with peaks in rainfall from March to May and from September to December. Many areas of the park experience flooding during the wet season. The temperature at the park varies from 18 to 30 ºC (64 to 86 ºF), with relatively small daily variations. The park borders the Semuliki and Lamia Rivers, which are watering places for many animals. The park has two hot springs in a hot mineral encrusted swamp. These hot springs attract a large number of shorebirds and they are a source of salt for many animals. From 1932 to 1993, the area covered by Semuliki National Park was managed as a forest reserve, initially by the colonial government and then by the Ugandan government's Forest Department. It was made a national park by the government in October 1993 to protect the forests as an integral part of the protected areas of the Western Rift Valley.

Hidden down in the south western part of Uganda, the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park; one of Uganda’s famous National Parks elegantly sits elevated above in the clouds with an altitude of about 2,227 to 4,127 meters. It is bordered by the Rwandan Republic in the south and the Congo Democratic Republic in the west with similar but adjacent; Volcanoes National Park and the Virunga National Park respectively. One can just by the look and mention of the name, tell that the park has everything to do with gorillas. It was formed as a way of sheltering and shielding the endangered and rare gentle giants; the Mountain Gorillas. However other species of primates that face the danger of extinction are the Golden Monkeys which can as well be found in this park.
