Day five was spent travelling to Kibale Ebird list here and day six we visited the Semuliki Forest. Semiluki is the other side of the Albertine Rift and marks the eastern most extension of the Lower Guinea (Guinea-Congo) Forest that stretches from West Africa to the edge of the East African Uplands. It was basically like being back in Ghana with typical West African species.
