Uganda
Uganda, often referred to as the "Pearl of Africa," offers diverse wildlife, lush rainforests, and vibrant culture. Whether you're trekking to see mountain gorillas or enjoying a safari, this East African gem is a must-visit destination.
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT
The best time to visit Uganda is during the dry season from December to February. This period is perfect for trekking to see the endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The dry weather also makes it ideal for safaris and wildlife watching in Queen Elizabeth National Park and other reserves.
WHAT TO PACK
Pack lightweight, breathable clothes, but also include layers for cooler evenings and mornings. Bring sturdy hiking boots, insect repellent, sunscreen, and rain gear for unpredictable weather.
ACCOMMODATION
Uganda offers a range of accommodations from luxury safari lodges to budget-friendly guesthouses and eco-lodges. For a more authentic experience, stay in tent camps near wildlife hotspots.
