The rains In Uganda, mean fewer people traveling – so you get the chance to experience Uganda without crowds.
March is the start of the first rainy season especially in the southern parts of Uganda. However, this does not mean that Uganda is completely off-limits for travel In March. There will be plenty of opportunity for wildlife sightings and as this month lies outside of the peak season, Uganda safari prices are likely to be lower and there will be plenty of availability at most of the safari lodges.
Another benefit of traveling at the beginning of the rainy season is that there is a lot of food for gorillas on the lower slopes of the mountain. Therefore, although trekking may be tougher due to wet terrain underfoot, you are likely to encounter gorillas closer to the beginning of the trail so distances covered will be shorter.
For travelers keen On Birdwatching, March is the last month you will be able to witness migratory birds in Uganda as they will begin to depart in April and won’t return to the country until November. Throughout the year Uganda boasts over 400 species of birds including the unique and impressive shoebill, so this is a bird-lovers paradise.
