The good news first: you can visit Uganda anytime, even permits for gorilla trekking are available throughout the year – a highlight, many tourists have on their to-do-list.
Now to the “bad” news: Uganda sees a lot of rain. Especially from March to May it can be tricky to travel since some lodges may close down and the roads can become muddy and hard to drive.
From June to August and from December to February dry season takes over which makes these months also the ones with the easiest travel conditions – and perfect for gorilla trekking! And since almost all the other animals gather around rivers and waterholes, the dry season is perfect if you want to see as many furry friends as possible during your safari in Uganda.
