Uganda e-Visa For Thai Citizens - Requirements & Fees

Sempaya Hot Spring

Located in Semiliki Valley, in the Bundibugyo area, travelers will find Sempaya hot spring. It originates in the Semiliki River and forms the boundary between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This river is located in the Albertine Rift Valley below the Bundibugyo banks and flows from Lake Edward and into Lake Albert along with much other aquatic life.

Because the natural springs are located within the forest, tourists have a better chance of seeing numerous animal species that inhabit there. This means that a visit to the hot spring may well be conveniently connected with other excursions like monkey spotting, game drives, birdwatching, nature walks, community interactions, and so on.
