Other Uganda Safari activities and attractions include Mountain Rwenzori and Elgon Climbing, Cultural Experiences, Birding, Volunteering and stay cations on Ssese Islands in Kalangala on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Uganda is considered the Primates Capital of the world and arguably the best place for tourists to trek with the last remaining Mountain Gorillas in the world right in their natural habitat. The Country is also home to the powerful Murchison falls, the Big Five animals and Mt. Rwenzori.
Uganda has undergone a transformation over the years which has made it one of the most looked after safari destination in the world and with over 10 national parks each uniquely endowed with multiple plants and world life species, a wildlife safari in Uganda becomes one of the tours tourists should endeavor to book in their life time.
The country has become a lot safer, there is a fantastic transport systems and infrastructure, and amazing accommodations with major must go to national parks, cultural centers and sanctuaries. we can’t forget to talk about the amazing food cuisines, hospitable people, libraries, restaurants and an amazing night life of Kampala and other major cities.
Uganda is an Eden of rainforest and lush vegetation, balanced by vast stretches of grassland, lakes and rivers. This diversity of habitats and environments is ideal for a variety of wildlife from primates to big cats, abundant plains game, and prolific bird species.
Most notably, Uganda is home to more than half of the world’s mountain gorilla population and is one of the few countries where you can encounter them in their natural environment. In addition to mountain gorillas, Uganda boasts a dozen other primate species including chimpanzees.
Once you have had your fill of forests, move on to the savannah grasslands, lakes and rivers of Lake Mburo, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Murchison Falls, where you can enjoy both traditional vehicle game drives and game-viewing by boat, which is rarely found in other East African countries.
We love Uganda for its diversity. One day you find yourself kneeling in awe before a gorilla family with your camera at the ready, and the next day you could be floating in a boat and watching the Nile River cascade over Murchison Falls. All the while, the local people and culture will touch your heart.
What's the weather like?
Best time to visit Uganda
Straddling the equator, Uganda is a year-round destination, as there is little fluctuation in temperature (average temps in the 80’s, although cooler at night in the higher altitudes – which can be up to 7,500 feet above sea level).
It can be quite humid, especially in the mountainous areas where you do your gorilla and chimp trekking. Peak season in terms of best weather and popularity is July through early September and again in late December through February. During peak season, gorilla permits can sell out, so it’s best to plan in advance. October is a “secret season” with great rates at select lodges and lovely weather.
Like other parts of East Africa there are two rainy periods: March to May (long rains) and late September to November (short rains). It will be rainier during these months for gorilla trekking, but the gorillas live in a rainforest so any time of year will be wet.
Some roads do become impassible in the rainy season, but the local guides know the best ways to get around. Despite the rain, October and November are actually good months to be in Uganda, especially for birding
