Why You Must Visit Uganda
Where to go
Uganda may not be on everyone's travel radar, given its smaller size and landlocked location, but it's a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Despite lacking an ocean coastline, Uganda boasts 25% of its land covered by lakes and rivers, offering a diverse range of beautiful places that leave a lasting impression on those who explore the country.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, with its mountainous and forested landscape, is counted among the top places to visit in Uganda for gorilla trekking. However, Uganda has more to offer as a tourist spot, such as vast savannah reserves, lowland rainforests, and captivating lakes. The combination of these natural wonders makes for an unforgettable wildlife experience in Africa. Let's explore the 6 best places to visit in Uganda.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Bwindi is a prime destination for gorilla trekking adventures and rainforest experiences. This wild gem is one of the most beautiful places in Africa, making it a top attraction for tourists in Uganda.
Best Time To Go
The most suitable time to go on safari in Uganda is during the dry season, spanning from December to February and June to September. This is because the weather is sunny and dry, and the wildlife is more visible around water sources. Gorilla trekking is also best during this time as the trails are drier and easier to navigate. Birdwatching is ideal from December to February and June to July since migratory birds flock to Uganda's national parks during these months.
The wet season from March to May and October to November may have lesser crowds and lower prices, but the roads may be difficult to navigate in some areas. It's worth noting that Uganda's national parks are open year-round, and each season offers a unique adventure. Please see the month-by-month analysis in the boxes below for further details.
