What is the climate like in Uganda?
The best times to visit are December to March and June to September. It can be somewhat rainy then, but not as rainy as in the rainy season, March to June. December to February and June to July are the driest times, when things can even be a bit dusty. Although the country lies astride the equator, most of Uganda is on a plateau 3,600 to 6,000 feet (900 to 1,830 meters) above sea level. Temperatures in some parts of the country can be quite cool owing to the country’s high altitude, despite its position on the equator. The mountain areas become much cooler, and the top of Mount Elgon is often covered with snow. Other parts of the country are much warmer.
