Uganda’s climate is as diverse as its landscapes, offering unique experiences in different parts of the country. In the north, from March to November, the land is bathed in a warm, rainy season that gives way to a similarly warm, dry season from December to February.
The south, however, dances to a different rhythm, with two dry spells (December to February and June to August) punctuated by two rainy seasons. This unique pattern creates a dynamic environment, where each season paints a different picture of Uganda’s natural beauty.
The months of June to August and December to February unveil Uganda’s wildlife at its finest, offering unparalleled opportunities for observation. These periods, characterized by dry weather and ample sunshine, provide ideal conditions for wildlife watching.
However, the wetter months come with their own allure and challenges. While they bring the landscape to life with vibrant greenery, the possibility of road closures and disrupted primate trekking adventures due to heavy rains adds a thrilling element to the experience.
Uganda boasts a remarkable diversity of primates, including the Patas monkey, red-tailed monkey, L’Hoest’s monkey, golden monkey, Ugandan red colobus, and Uganda mangabey. The black-and-white colobus is also prevalent across the country.
In addition to its primate population, Uganda is home to a wide range of antelope species. The Uganda kob, considered the national antelope, is abundant in local areas, while the elusive sitatunga antelope can be found in six national parks but is seldom spotted.
For an unforgettable wildlife experience in Uganda, the Dry season, from December to February and June to September, is the prime time. During these months, the landscapes come alive with wildlife, offering excellent viewing opportunities.
However, navigating the roads can be challenging during the rainy seasons from September to November and March to May. Despite this, gorilla tracking remains a year-round activity. Yet, the Wet season may dampen the experience with heavy rain.
Uganda’s avian diversity is truly remarkable, with over 1,000 species inhabiting an area similar in size to Great Britain. This wealth of birdlife can be attributed to Uganda’s unique location, situated between the East African savannah, West African rainforests, and the semi-desert regions of the north.
Although Uganda has only two endemic species, it boasts 150 species that are found exclusively within East Africa. The country also serves as a seasonal home to migrant birds from November to April, further enriching its already vibrant bird population.
Uganda’s appeal lasts all year for birding enthusiasts, thanks to its diverse resident bird population. However, the country’s climate, characterized by high rainfall, is a factor to consider.
The optimal bird-watching time is generally from late May to September when rainfall is lower, and food sources are plentiful. Yet, during the Wet seasons, navigating roads and forest trails can be challenging, while rain may disrupt birding excursions.
The key nesting period for endemic species in Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks falls in May and June. However, heavy rains from mid-April to mid-May can hinder birding activities. Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve experiences relatively dry conditions in February and early March, except for the northern areas like Murchison Falls National Park, which can be uncomfortably hot.
December and January offer favorable birding conditions, with the north still temperate and less rain in the south. The Dry season, from June to August and December to February, is also prime for primate tracking and wildlife viewing in the savannah reserves.

he prime times to uncover Uganda’s wonders are during the Dry seasons from June to August and December to February, offering optimal conditions for wildlife encounters. Among the safari highlights are the captivating primate walks through the verdant forests.
While Uganda’s rainforests are inherently wet, these Dry seasons provide the best opportunities to minimize exposure to heavy rainfall. Moreover, following a downpour, the skies often part to reveal glorious sunshine, enhancing the enchantment of the safari experience.
In the tapestry of Uganda’s climate, the southern regions echo Kampala’s tropical character, albeit with nuances. Nestled near Lake Victoria, Kampala enjoys a gentler climate, a whisper softer than its southern counterparts. Here, in the verdant south, parks bask in slightly warmer daytime caresses and cradle cooler nocturnal embraces. Yet, ascend to the lofty realms of the gorilla parks, and you’ll find yourself ensconced in a crisp, mountain-kissed chill. Venturing northward, where the land unfurls toward Murchison Falls and Kidepo Valley, the warmth envelops you, with daytime temperatures embracing a balmy 32°C/90°F.
In the afternoon, temperatures generally peak at around 27°C (81°F), while mornings are cooler at approximately 16°C (61°F). Expect even chillier conditions at altitudes above 1,300 meters (4,265 feet), particularly in the gorilla parks.
> June, July, and August – These months are the driest in the south, with occasional rain showers. However, they correspond to the Wet season in the northern regions. The far north, including Kidepo Valley, is semi-arid and can sometimes face drought conditions
> December, January, and February – While the southern areas see reduced rainfall compared to mid-year, they still receive more than in June and July. In contrast, the north experiences a clear Dry season with very little rain.
During the day, temperatures typically average around 28°C (82°F), while mornings are cooler at about 16°C (61°F). In the gorilla parks at higher altitudes, temperatures are colder, whereas in the north, they tend to be warmer.
> March, April, and May – These months bring heightened rainfall across the country, peaking notably in April, particularly in the southern regions. Despite the rain, expect some sunny days. However, travel may be more challenging due to the precipitation.
> September, October, and November – Comparable to the earlier months, these months also experience increased rainfall but generally less than in March, April, and May.
Entebbe International Airport (EBB) is the primary gateway for flights into Uganda, situated near the town of Entebbe, approximately 46 km (29 miles) from Kampala, the capital.

Embarking on a gorilla trek is a remarkably safe adventure. Mountain gorillas are known for their gentle nature, often either ignoring or displaying curiosity toward humans. These gorilla groups are habituated, meaning they have become accustomed to human presence. Before setting off on your trek, the park authorities’ guide will provide a briefing on how to interact safely with the gorillas. Despite thousands of annual gorilla trekkers in Uganda, incidents are exceptionally rare.
Gorilla trekking is widely regarded as a very safe activity, with dangerous incidents being extremely rare. Visitors are guided to habituated gorilla troops by experienced park rangers. These gorillas are accustomed to human presence, seeing people daily and recognizing that they pose no threat. They typically ignore humans, although young gorillas may sometimes display curiosity.
Mountain gorillas are inherently peaceful creatures, showing minimal aggression toward each other and maintaining a tranquil demeanor.
