June in Uganda marks the beginning of the dry season, which lasts from June to September. June is one of the best times to visit Uganda because of the clear skies, warm temperatures, and low chance of rain.
The dry season is popular among travelers because it provides the best conditions for outdoor activities like trekking and wildlife safaris.
With fewer muddy roads and easier trekking conditions, Uganda’s forests, wildlife reserves, and national parks are more accessible, and the landscapes are at their most beautiful.
As Uganda enters the dry season, June is one of the best times to travel. The weather is usually sunny, with clear skies and warm temperatures during the day, while evenings and nights are cooler.
Because the roads are less muddy and the trekking trails are easier to use, the dry weather makes it simpler to explore Uganda’s national parks and reserves.
June offers pleasant and ideal weather for outdoor activities such as hiking in the Rwenzori Mountains, going on safaris, and trekking to see mountain gorillas.
Since animals gather near water sources in June during the dry season, wildlife viewing becomes more rewarding.
Uganda’s national parks, such as Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and Kidepo Valley, provide excellent safari experiences with fewer obstacles to spotting animals.
Because there is less vegetation and more animals come to drink at waterholes, it is easier to see them. The plains and savannas of the national parks are full of elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, and other famous African wildlife.
June makes gorilla trekking in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest more enjoyable because the dry weather makes the trails less muddy and easier to walk on.
With less chance of rain, trekking becomes more comfortable. Clear skies and dry paths make it easier to move through the forest, and the cooler weather helps prevent overheating while trekking.
Also, since the busy travel season starts in June, you can still have a relatively quiet experience with these endangered gorillas.
