Best Time to Visit

Uganda enjoys a pleasant tropical climate all year, with warm days and cool evenings. The best time to visit depends on your focus, trekking, wildlife, or relaxation.

  • June to September – Dry season, best for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, and clear game viewing in national parks.

  • December to February – Short dry season, ideal for photography, boat safaris, and scenic landscapes.
