To know the best time for your anniversary trip is as well very important, and Encounter Africa Safaris is available to help you choose the best time basing on your preferences. While Uganda has tropical climate and can be visited year-round, there are two seasons that is wet and then dry seasons.

The Dry season that is from June to August and December to February are generally considered as the best time to visit. During these months the weather is more predictable, with less rainfall and it can be sunny. The dry conditions make the safari roads very easy to move through in the national parks and the vegetation can be shorter that makes it easy to spot wildlife as they gather around water sources. This is also the peak season for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking as the forest trails are less muddy and slippery.
