What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

Uganda Tour Selection Trips

  • Be sure to book with a reliable licensed tour operator, especially if you want to see mountain gorillas. Experienced guides know where the gorillas are likely to be on any given day.
  • It can take up to six hours to find gorillas in the steep rainforest, making it a physically challenging expedition, with chimpanzees even more elusive..
  • Itineraries allowing multiple days for chances to find the gorillas and chimpanzees -- who are wild, after all -- will offer a more relaxed pace and insure you get the quality face/lens time you want with these magnificent cousins.
  • Permits to track mountain gorillas are expensive, so check to see if they’re included in the price of your safari to avoid unpleasant surprises.
  • Roads in Uganda can range from bad to worse.  Be prepared for back-twisting, neck-jarring rides -- and if you’re susceptible to motion sickness, take along some medication.
  • Accommodations can be comfortable but quite basic. A shower may mean hot water poured into a roof-top bucket which drips down upon you below.  Make sure your lodgings meet your minimum comfort level.
  • Because they operate on solar power, jungle lodges and tent camps may have limited – or no -- facilities for charging camera, computer or other types of batteries. Take along extras and keep them charged at every opportunity..
  • While Uganda’s climate is generally equatorial, it can change quickly at higher altitudes. Check the typical temperature range and rainfall where you’re going – then come prepared for unexpected changes.
  • Take along an adequate supply of prescription drugs and anything else that you will, or may, need for your health or comfort, because you may not find them in Uganda.
  • Kidepo National Park near the South Sudan border is remote enough to be one of Africa’s best kept secrets, with savannah, mountains, and lots of wildlife; not every guided trip goes there, so check your tour operator’s itinerary if it’s on your must-do list.
  • White water rafting on the White Nile can be an adrenaline blast, but it’s not offered on all itineraries; check different operators to see if their style is sedate cruising or action-oriented.

Additional details

Weather in Uganda

Situated near the equator, Uganda has warm weather all year around. With temperatures ranging from 25-29°C (77-84°F). The hottest months range from December to February, temperatures can drop to 17-18°C (63-64°F) during the evening.

Uganda can receive annual rainfall anywhere between 1,000mm and 1,500mm, heavy rain can be expected between March - May and September - November. Most wildlife watching is done during the dry season January-February and June-August.

Best Time to Visit Uganda

Since the temperatures are fairly consistent year around Uganda is a travel destination that can be visited any time of the year. 

Packing List for Uganda

Uganda is situated on the equator, which means a lot of hot weather and rain, sometimes both at the same time. Pack light clothes, like cotton shirts, tees and a khakis. A sweater for the chilly nights.

A backpack for your daily adventures. A pair of good shoes that you can hike with, a bathing suit, a pair of sunglasses, and of course a camera to capture the amazing wildlife.
