The Ultimate Guide to Ugandan Safaris & Best Time to Visit

Experience the Magic of a Ugandan Safari

Uganda, famously known as the "Pearl of Africa," offers some of the most breathtaking wildlife encounters on the continent. From tracking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to witnessing the mighty Murchison Falls, a Ugandan safari promises unforgettable adventures. At Kasongo Safari Uganda, we specialize in crafting tailor-made safari experiences that showcase Uganda’s rich biodiversity, stunning landscapes, and vibrant cultures.

Why Choose Uganda for Your Safari?

1. Gorilla Trekking – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

Uganda is home to half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, with Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park being the prime destinations. A gorilla trekking safari allows you to come face-to-face with these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

2. Big Five & Wildlife Safaris

Uganda’s national parks, including Queen Elizabeth National ParkMurchison Falls National Park, and Kidepo Valley National Park, offer incredible opportunities to spot the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) as well as chimpanzees, giraffes, and hippos.

3. The Mighty Murchison Falls

The Nile River squeezes through a narrow gorge and plunges 43 meters, creating the spectacular Murchison Falls. A boat cruise to the base of the falls is a must-do activity.

4. Chimpanzee Tracking in Kibale Forest

Kibale National Park is the best place for chimpanzee trekking, with over 1,500 chimpanzees residing in its lush forests.

5. Birdwatching Paradise

Uganda boasts over 1,000 bird species, making it a top destination for bird lovers. Key spots include Queen Elizabeth National ParkBwindi Forest, and Lake Mburo National Park.

Best Time to Go on Safari in Uganda

The best time for a Ugandan safari depends on wildlife viewing, gorilla trekking conditions, and weather patterns. Uganda has a tropical climate with two main seasons:

1. Dry Seasons (Best for Safaris & Gorilla Trekking)

  • June to August & December to February
  • Ideal for gorilla trekking (trails are less muddy).
  • Best wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources.
  • Great for photography with clear skies and lush landscapes.

2. Wet Seasons (Shoulder Seasons – Fewer Crowds & Lower Prices)

  • March to May & September to November
  • Lush green scenery perfect for nature lovers.
  • Fewer tourists, meaning more exclusive safari experiences.
  • Lower prices on accommodations and permits.

Pro Tip: Gorilla permits are available year-round, but booking in advance (especially in peak seasons) is highly recommended.
