Uganda can be visited throughout the year, and the best time preferred by most travellers is during the dry season, which runs from June to September and December to February. During this season, the parks receive little to no rainfall, the vegetation cover is short, and the tracks are dry, making it easy to penetrate them in search of wildlife species. However, visitors can visit Uganda during the wet season, which runs from October to November and March to May.
