The best time to go on safaris in Uganda is during the dry seasons, which run from June to September and December to February. During these months, the weather is generally more favorable, with less rainfall, making wildlife viewing easier as animals congregate around water sources and the trails are less muddy.

The dry season also enhances gorilla trekking conditions, providing better visibility and more accessible terrain. While Uganda safaris can be undertaken year-round, the dry periods offer optimal conditions for exploring Uganda’s diverse landscapes and observing its abundant wildlife.
