Beyond its famous primates, Uganda boasts incredible biodiversity, from the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains to the mighty Murchison Falls, and offers some of the most authentic and uncrowded safari experiences in Africa.

Uganda can be visited year-round. The dry seasons (June-September and December-February) offer easier trekking conditions for gorillas. However, the 'wet' seasons often have fewer tourists and gorillas are easier to find as they don't venture far for food.
