Best time to go to Uganda
Planning your next adventure to the diverse eastern African country of Uganda? Ah, splendid choice, indeed! Now before you start crossing days off your calendar eagerly, let's have an insider chit-chat about when is the best time to experience Uganda in all its grandeur and splendor. Trust me, my friend, Uganda's climate has as much personality as the country itself!
Alright, we'll pull back the curtain with this – Uganda is an all-year-round destination. Yes, come spring, summer, autumn or winter! Its location on the equator blesses Uganda with a beautiful, tropical climate. However, the best times to visit, particularly if you're one to parley with the local wildlife or take a victorious hike up the mountains, are from December to February and June to September. The reason, you ask? Well, these periods are dry(er) seasons with lesser rainfall and safer road conditions.
Now, don't scratch the wet seasons off your list yet. March to May and October to November, despite being rainier, boast of a greener landscape, full-flowing rivers, and fewer tourists. Imagine having the enchanting Murchison Falls or the bewitching Bwindi Impenetrable National Park all to yourself!
Ah, one more thing! As we pull closer to the Rift Valley and the mountainous regions, the temperatures tend to drop during the night, so remember to pack some extra woolens to tell the cold, "not today!"
To give you more clarity, here's a temperature overview for the city:

---|---|---|
January | 20 to 29 | 68 to 84 |
