Eastern Uganda Safari Extensions →Best Time for Uganda Safaris 2026-2027
- June to September & December to February – Dry Seasons: Best overall for Uganda Safaris. Trails in Bwindi and Kibale are drier, game viewing in Murchison and Queen Elizabeth is excellent around waterholes, and gorilla trekking photos are clearer. This is peak season for Uganda Safaris 2026-2027 – book permits early via enquiry form.
- March to May & October to November – Green Seasons: Fewer travelers on Uganda Safaris, lodges offer low season rates (save 20-30%), forest is lush for photography, and gorilla permits are easier to get. Still great for gorilla trekking – gorillas are there year-round. Best for budget and mid-range Uganda Safaris.

Why the Western Circuit Wins for First Uganda Safaris
For 8 years, we have run Uganda Safaris from Kampala and learned what works. The western circuit gives you gorillas in Bwindi, chimps in Kibale, tree-climbing lions in Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth, and Big 5 in Murchison Falls – all in 7-10 days with logical driving distances. You avoid the long 10-hour backtrack that other companies do. Your Uganda Safari starts with Ziwa Rhino tracking (1.5 hours from Kampala), then Murchison Falls for 2 nights, Kibale for chimps, Queen Elizabeth for game drives and boat cruise, and ends with gorilla trekking in Bwindi and relaxation at Lake Bunyonyi before returning to Entebbe. This is why our 7-Day Big 5 & Gorilla and 10-Day Classic Uganda Safaris are most booked for Uganda Safaris 2026-2027. All private & small group, rated on SafariBookings and TripAdvisor, with same-day permit check – contact us today via our enquiry form.
