Impenetrable forest, a family of gorillas, and the Nile at full force.
Uganda draws travellers to gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale and the Nile’s thunder at Murchison Falls. Queen Elizabeth National Park adds tree-climbing lions and crater lakes. The country rewards those willing to walk for its wildlife.
June to September and December to February are the driest months, with firmer forest trails for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking. The rainier months bring lush scenery and quieter parks, though walking becomes more strenuous underfoot.
