Best time to visit Uganda for a safari:
Uganda can be visited all around for a safari adventure, but particular months of the year are affected by weather changes, and this, in the end, affects the cost of your safari. The best time of the year to visit Uganda is during the dry season. This season stretches from the month of June to September and from December to February. This season is considered to be the best for wildlife viewing with higher chances of wildlife encounters. Animals tend to gather around ponds of water, and the roads are relatively easier to navigate. This is considered the park season of the year in Uganda, and safari costs tend to be relatively higher.
The rainy season, also reffered as the low season of the year, is around the months of March to May and October to November. During this season of the year, adventure seakens enjoy discounted rates, fewer crowds, and lush green landscapes, although occasionally rainfall may affect travel and make roads impossible in some areas.
