Temperatures in Uganda are pleasant year round, so the most important consideration for visitors is the timing of the wet and dry seasons. The driest months are June to August, with December to February close behind. Most choose to visit Uganda during these periods as it is ideal for gorilla trekking and other outdoor activities. Unlike other African nations, tourist attractions in Uganda don’t grind to a halt in the wet seasons, so visits during the rest of the year are possible. April, the wettest month, is best avoided, but those seeking the authentic may enjoy the lower tourist ratio of the rainy months.
