When to visit Uganda.

1. Dry Season (December to February and June to September):
2. December to February: This is one of the best times to visit Uganda the pearl of Africa. The weather is relatively dry and warm, making it an ideal time for gorilla trekking, wildlife safaris, and other outdoor activities. The skies are clearer, which enhances photography opportunities.
3. June to September: This period is also part of the dry season, and it’s a good time for visiting Uganda. The weather is generally pleasant, with cooler temperatures and lower humidity. Wildlife viewing is excellent during this time, as animals tend to gather around water sources.
4. Wet Season (March to May and October to November):
5. March to May: This is the long rainy season in Uganda, with heavy rains and high humidity. Some lodges and roads may become inaccessible due to the muddy conditions. Gorilla trekking and other activities can still be done, but the trails might be more challenging. However, the landscape is lush and green during this time.
6. October to November: This is the short rainy season, and while it might not rain as heavily as in the long rainy season, there can still be intermittent showers. Wildlife might be a bit harder to spot during this time as animals disperse to find water sources.

Activities like gorilla trekking are possible throughout the year, but the dry seasons are generally recommended for a more comfortable experience. The wet seasons can offer unique opportunities for bird watching and lush landscapes, but they might also come with challenges like muddy trails and limited wildlife visibility.
