Weather

Two separate wet seasons shape the year here, roughly around April and November, with drier, more reliable stretches in between rather than one long wet or dry season. In July, expect highs around 21°C with rain on roughly 5 days of the month.

Things to Do

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is the country's signature wildlife experience.

Local Cuisine

Try matoke (steamed plantain) with groundnut sauce, Uganda's everyday staple.
