Why to go…
From the moment you land at Entebbe´s modern and efficient international airport, with its breathtaking equatorial location on the forested shore of island-strewn Lake Victoria, it is clear that Uganda is no ordinary safari destination. Uganda´s star attraction is the endangered mountain gorilla, the bulkiest of living primates, and among the most peaceable. Other highlights in Uganda are the world-class whitewater rafting at the source of Nile River, and some of the region´s more peaceful national parks, where wildlife viewing doesn´t involve long waits in line behind a dozen or more vehicles.
When to go…
Uganda can be visited throughout the entire year, as it enjoys the perfect tropical climate. The average temperatures are about 26°C during the day and 16°C at night. From December to February the temperatures are the highest.
