Uganda can be visited throughout the year, with different seasons offering different experiences. The drier months are particularly popular for wildlife viewing and trekking, while the greener months can offer beautiful scenery and excellent opportunities for photography and bird watching.
Pack lightweight, comfortable clothing, sturdy walking shoes, sun protection, insect repellent and a light jacket for cooler mornings and evenings. Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking also requires suitable footwear for forest conditions.
International travellers should check Uganda’s current entry requirements before travelling. Depending on nationality, a visa may be required. We recommend confirming passport validity, visa requirements and other travel documentation well before departure.
