Uganda - Best time to visit

You are here: Africa --> Uganda --> When to go


When to go



Considering that the temperature is quite stable and both the intense cold and the heat rarely occur, the best times to visit Uganda are related to the rains.
January and February are quite dry almost everywhere, so they are the best months, although some showers may still occur, especially in the south and along the western mountain slopes, while during the day, it can get hot especially in the north and below a thousand meters (3,300 feet). It is worth while to recall that the equatorial sun's rays require appropriate protection, especially in the mountains.
In June, July and August there is little rainfall too, but only in the south, so in these months you can go if you intend to visit Kampala, Lake Victoria and southern parks such as that of the Ruwenzori.
The rainiest months in the south are April, May, October, and November, while in the north, as mentioned on the climate page, there is a single rainy season from April to October.

What to pack



All year long, for Lake Albert and at the lowest elevations, pack light clothing, and a sweatshirt and a light jacket for the evening.
For Kampala and Lake Victoria, pack light clothes for the day, a sweater and a jacket for the evening, a light scarf for the breeze, and a light raincoat or umbrella.
For the plateau at the highest altitudes, bring spring/autumn clothes, a sweater and a warm jacket, and a raincoat or umbrella.
For the mountain peaks, warm clothes, such as a down jacket, a hat, and gloves.
