		<description><![CDATA[Semliki Safari Lodge Too much about shoebills, I know, but I had to show off this shot anyway. Shoebills tend to overshadow the fact that a Semliki boat trip is spectacular for so many other species of birds. Marsh harriers, osprey, fish eagles, purple herons, purple gallinules, whistling ducks…the list goes on. After five years [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Semliki is special for many reasons, but to quote writer Melanie Finn who visited several years ago: “Semliki allows you to give leave to your senses”. So in this spirit of letting go, let’s celebrate the smaller things that come to the forefront when you do indeed give leave to your senses. Ever wondered what makes that wonderfully comic, liquid ‘boink’ when you listen to the forest at night? It’s the Senegal Kassina, a tiny little tree frog. Despite the fact that these creatures are widely distributed throughout Africa, they are tremendously difficult to see…unless you know where their hiding spots are. Which we do!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have had an exciting month at Semliki with night time visitors, an animal rescue and the discovery of a new reserve species.
