How to get there

Entebbe is the main international gateway. Internal flights or scenic road transfers link primate forests, savannah parks and lakeside stops.

Climate

Uganda’s equatorial climate stays green for much of the year. Days are warm; forest treks can feel humid. Two rainy seasons — March to May and October to November — require sturdy footwear and flexible scheduling.

Best time to visit

June to September and December to February are the most reliable trekking windows. We secure permits early and build recovery nights around forest days.
