Best time to visit Uganda:

Dry Seasons (December to February and June to August): These are the main dry seasons in Uganda. The weather is generally more favorable for wildlife viewing, gorilla trekking, and other outdoor activities. During these periods, the conditions are drier, making travel and trekking more accessible in the national parks, such as Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Wet Seasons (March to May and September to November): These months constitute the wetter seasons in Uganda. While the rain can affect travel and road conditions, it's a great time for birdwatching and seeing the landscape in its lush, green state.
