Travel to Uganda
When to visit
Uganda can be visited at any time of year. Because the country is a bisected by the equator, seasonal temperature variation is relatively insignificant. Rain is a possibility at all times, but gorilla tracking tends to be least challenging in the relatively dry months of June to September and December to February. Conversely, it is easiest to obtain last minute gorilla tracking permits in April or May, which is the low season.
Visas and paperwork
US citizens must carry a passport valid for at least six months after their intended departure date. A visa can usually be obtained on arrival, but safer to buy an e-visa in advance.
