When to Visit

Best Time to Travel to Uganda

The best time to visit Uganda is during the two dry seasons – December to February and June to August – as these months offer optimal trekking conditions for seeing mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. The two dry periods present excellent game viewing opportunities in the national parks, especially between February and March and September and early October when there are large concentrations of wildlife at waterholes. Given that temperatures remain consistently warm throughout the year and drop only between 24°C and 30°C, Uganda tours can be arranged at any time of the year. Birdwatching is superb at any moment of the year, and holidays in Uganda are amazing for nature and adventure lovers alike!
