When Is the Best Time To Visit Uganda?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Uganda depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Uganda

It's best to visit Uganda in July, August and September - that's when you can count on very good weather all over the country.

Also, choosing months such as January, February, June, October, November and December is a good time to travel, but sometimes there may be weather conditions that make the visit difficult. We can expect worse weather in March, April and also in May, although the journey is possible, this is not the best time. The weather can then be very unpredictable, with a tendency to be bad.
