What is the Best Time to Visit Uganda?
Many travelers wonder about the best times to visit Uganda. All in all Uganda can be visited anytime of the year. However the activities that you intend to undertake may determine the time you should visit the country.
Most travelers looking to game viewing, gorilla trekking and mountain hiking prefer to visit Uganda during the dry season given that it is easier to spot wildlife or to hike through easily during this season.
Interests:
Interests also differ among the people. In 2015 Pope Francis decided to visit Uganda in November, a rainy season because he wanted to avoid too much heat.
There are people who prefer to track the gorillas during the wet season and what you need is to come up with better hiking equipment and proper clothing needed for a wet season.
Given its relatively humid climate, temperatures in Uganda are reasonably constant, ranging from a dry season maximum of 25°C to a wet season maximum of 31°C.
