You can book several pocket-friendly budget accommodation options in and around Semuliki National Park. Some are close to the park, while others are found in nearby towns where you can access internet, banks, ATMs, markets, and other services. During your stay, you can also take time to visit Fort Portal town in Bundibugyo district. The town has lively nightlife with clubs, restaurants serving late meals, and different drinks to enjoy.
Budget accommodations are low-cost hotels or lodges with basic but standard facilities for tourists visiting Semuliki. One of them is Ntoroko Game Lodge, located near Semuliki Wildlife Reserve by Lake Albert. The lodge offers single and double rooms with king-sized beds, fans, heaters, hairdryers, toiletries, and private balconies.
Another option is Kirumia Guest House, located only 100 meters from the Kirumia Trail, a famous birding site. It is also close to Ntandi headquarters and Sempaya tourism center, making it easy for visitors to access different attractions. Guests can see colobus monkeys, chimpanzees, birds, savannah plains, and forested uplands nearby. The guest house has a bar with different drinks and a restaurant that serves both local dishes and international cuisines.
There are also Semuliki National Park bandas and campsites, managed by Uganda Wildlife Authority. These are located at Bumaga, about 2.5 km from the Sempaya trailhead, where most activities begin. The bandas have simple but comfortable rooms. However, they do not provide meals, so guests must either order food from outside or hire cooking utensils to prepare their own meals.
Other budget accommodation options include Bumuga Campsite, Hotel Vanilla, and Semuliki River Camp. These provide affordable stays for travelers who want to enjoy the park without spending much.
