When to visit

The best time to visit Uganda is during the dry seasons, which are from December to February and from June to September. During these months, the weather is pleasant, and wildlife sightings are more common. However, Uganda can be visited year-round, and each season offers its own unique experiences.

Getting around

Getting around Uganda is relatively easy, with various transportation options available. Domestic flights are available between major cities and national parks, providing a convenient way to travel long distances. Buses and minibuses, known as matatus, are the most common mode of transportation for shorter distances. Taxis and motorcycle taxis, known as boda bodas, are also widely available in urban areas.

Traveller tips

Make sure to obtain a valid visa before traveling to Uganda. It is recommended to carry cash in small denominations, as credit cards may not be widely accepted. Pack appropriate clothing for both warm and cool weather, as temperatures can vary. Respect the local customs and traditions, and dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Stay hydrated and use insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Engage with local tour operators or guides to make the most of your trip and support the local economy.
