> Season and Climate
 Uganda
has a spring-like climate year round and has a less obvious
wet and dry season. Where gorilla travel is concerned, keep
in mind that Bwindi National Park is a rain forest at considerable
elevation and can be wet and cool at any time of year. Wildland
Adventures offers safaris to Uganda year round, and travelers
who leave conventional wisdom unheeded by making their trip
during the rains of November, April or May will almost certainly
be treated to unexpected and exciting wildlife experiences,
un-crowded game reserves and probably a good deal of sunshine.
It can rain during any month. In recent times, changing
global weather patterns make transitions between rainy and
dry seasons come and go unpredictably. The following are
the typical seasonal highlights:
December– February
This is the hot dry season. Excellent for birds and animal
viewing, though long grass may make some smaller species
hard to see. Spring-like conditions in Uganda and ideal
time for gorilla trekking.
March
Intermittent rains start at this time. Game viewing is excellent
over short new grass of the plains. Spring-like conditions
are moderated by cool nights.
April - May
This is the heavier rainy season, and road conditions can
become difficult. There’s great biological activity
in the reserves, beautiful green landscapes and panoramas,
but muddy, slippery, conditions for gorilla trekking.
June - October
This is the cooler dry season. Peak tourist season is July-August.
Excellent wildlife viewing conditions, though many roads
are dusty. This is an excellent time of year for gorilla
trekking in Bwindi National Park.
November
Here begin the short rains. There’s nice greening
of plants, and birds begin arriving from Eurasia. Expect
intermittent showers and some flash flooding. Muddy and
slippery conditions for gorilla trekking.
