Uganda Safari in March

Wet season-low season of tourism with guaranteed gorilla and chimpanzee permits

 The month of march streaks the  beginning of the rainy season of the year in the southern part of Uganda, while it is still dry in the northern parts of Uganda, and march is not a perfect time for visiting Uganda for gorilla tracking experience and wildlife viewing.

March is the start of the long rainy season in the entire country, however travelers should  know that Uganda stays open for tourism though it’s a wet season. Although none of the national parks are operating normally and this will provide an opportunity for wildlife views and this month is not in the high season implying that prices of lodges, hotels and other services will be put on a discount since there are always fewer travelers.

Even if this month is heavily characterized by rains, certain times the rainfall  is not likely to rule the all day, and skies can brighten up after it has rained,  so there will be ample time to explore and chill while on your Uganda safari in march.
