Best Time To Do Gorilla Trekking And Game Safari In Uganda

The dry season which is June to September and December to January is the best preferred season for both gorilla trekking and game safaris in Uganda although both Uganda safari activities are open all year.

For Uganda tourism, the dry season is the busiest tourism season in the country with high competition for the limited safari logistics available in the country so advance booking is advised.

Bwindi which has high humidity the entire year generally experiences less moisture in the dry season allowing faster movement in the dry season. The tracks of Queen Elizabeth National Park are quicker to drive through in the dry season, grasslands drier allowing better visibility. The wet season should not be a barrier to going on gorilla trekking and game safari in Uganda because be sure to enjoy the best adventure with less disturbance. The wet season is normally march to May and November.
