WHAT WILDLIFE WILL YOU EXPERIENCE
Uganda is a great destination to experience wildlife viewing in both forest and savannah.
Not to be missed is gorilla tracking in Bwindi; while chimps can easily be spotted in Kibale
National Park. Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls national parks offer wonderful
savannah safaris with good wildlife viewing, but animals are not as abundant compared to
the top parks of Kenya and Tanzania.
The best wildlife viewing months in Uganda are during the Dry seasons from June to August
and December to February. Primate walks in the forest are a big part of any safari in Uganda.
The habitat of rainforests is, by default, very wet, and one can’t avoid rain completely.
However, after heavy rain, the skies often open up to bright sunshine.
The best time for wildlife viewing is in the dry season (December-February and
June-September). Some of the roads are impassable during the rainy season
(September-November and March- May). Gorilla can be tracked year round, but the
experience can be spoiled – to some extent – by heavy rain in the wet season.
