Best time to visit Uganda

Uganda is a year-round destination. The dry seasons run from December to February and from June to September, while the wet seasons are from March to May and October to November. Rainfall is usually short and light, so travel remains enjoyable throughout the year. During the wet season, the country is lush and green, with very few tourists. For hiking, the dry season is preferred

Climate Summary

Expect pleasant tropical weather, with temperatures ranging between 20-30°C (68-86°F). Uganda is never too hot thanks to its higher elevation, ranging from 800 metres (2,625 ft) to 2,200 metres (7,218 ft) in Bwindi — with even higher peaks such as Mount Stanley in the Rwenzori Mountains, which rises to 5,109 metres (16,763 ft), the highest point in Uganda. Rain is possible throughout the year, especially in the rainforest areas.
