Best Time to Visit Uganda
The best time to visit Uganda will depend on the kinds of activities you would like to experience; but the country can be visited at any time of year as it mostly enjoys the perfect tropical climate all year round. Temperatures average about 26°C - 30°C (78°F - 86°F) with the hottest months being December to February.
If you’re looking for the best trekking conditions to see mountain gorillas and chimpanzees visit during Uganda’s two dry seasons: December to February and June to August. While game viewing is great during this time, September and October is best for spotting large herds along rivers and at waterholes while vegetation is low. While bird watching is possible throughout the year migratory birds can be seen from November to February.
