Top Locations in Uganda

Wellness holidays in Uganda offer rejuvenating retreats set against stunning landscapes, featuring yoga, spa treatments, and holistic healing inspired by local traditions.

  • The best time to visit Uganda is during the dry seasons, which occur from December to February and from June to September. These months offer favorable weather conditions for various activities, including gorilla trekking, wildlife safaris, and exploring the country's natural beauty. During the dry seasons, rainfall is minimal, temperatures are moderate, and wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around water sources. Additionally, the months of December and January, as well as June and July, coincide with the peak tourist seasons in Uganda, offering vibrant cultural events and festivals to enhance your experience.

  • The Ugandan Chilling (UGX) is the local currency, and the US Dollar is a recognized currency widely excepted for cash payments in in most tourist focused businesses like hotels, restaurants, safari tours, and at the airport. Very few places accept Mastercard. In addition to cash we suggest you bring Visa debit card.

  • For many travelers, a visa is required to enter Uganda. However, the specific visa requirements vary depending on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and the duration of your stay. Some travelers may be eligible to apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) online before traveling to Uganda. The e-Visa allows for a smoother entry process and can be obtained through the official website of the Uganda Electronic Visa/Permit System.

    It's essential to check the specific visa requirements for your nationality well in advance of your travel date to ensure compliance with Uganda's immigration regulations. You can consult the official website of the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control of Uganda or contact the nearest Ugandan embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date information.

  • When planning a trip to Uganda, it is important to be aware of the recommended vaccinations to ensure a safe and healthy journey. The following vaccinations are commonly advised for travelers to Uganda:

    • Malaria: Taking antimalarial medication is highly recommended due to the high risk of malaria in Uganda. Consult your healthcare provider for the best option for you.

    • Yellow Fever: A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry into Uganda.

  • There is also no set route to visit the gorillas. They move around of their own free will, so the amount of time it will take to visit them can vary from under an hour to almost a full day depending on where they are and how long it takes the trackers to locate them.

    Due to trekking through the dense forests in search of Chimpanzee and Gorilla, and trekking time taking anything from 2-8 hours, a fairly good level of fitness is required. Walking sticks can be hired at the park headquarters if needed.
