Uganda is a year-round destination, but for the best experience, we recommend visiting during the dry seasons from December to February and June to September. These months are ideal for gorilla trekking, wildlife safaris, and other outdoor activities, as the weather is drier, making the terrain easier to navigate. The green seasons (March to May and October to November) are quieter and offer lush, beautiful landscapes perfect for photography and bird watching

Whether by 4x4 for a road safari, a private boat cruise, or even a light aircraft to remote destinations, Bush Wander takes care of every detail to ensure you travel in comfort and style.
