However, during the wetter months of March to May and October to November, which is the low season, the prices of accommodation and some activities like Gorilla trekking get subsidized making it a good time for those who want to travel for cheap.
So in my opinion, taking into account the weather, activities, and prices, the best time to go to Uganda is in the drier months of June to September or December to February.
This is simply because you won’t lose any time because of rain and wildlife viewing is at its best.
To give you a better understanding of Uganda’s weather all year round, here is a chart showcasing both the average temperatures and rain throughout the year.

3. Should You Hire A Tour Company Or Not
This is a hard one to answer but I’ll do my best. Uganda is one of those countries where you can travel independently without any problems.
But since national parks are scattered in far places of the country with no direct means of public transport, you might hit a roadblock but this does not mean that it’s totally undoable and not to mention that it’s cheaper.
