Peak season

The peak seasons for flights to Uganda are determined largely by the availability of safari tours and specific permits. In light of this major attraction, the most frequented time is the dry season from June to September and from December to February. July and August as well as Christmas and New Year are the country’s busiest periods. In the savannah reserves, vegetation during the dry season is sparse and animals are easier to spot around sources of water. So tourists who book flights to Uganda for the sole purpose of wildlife tracking, favour these months.

Off season

The cheapest flights to Uganda are best found during the low tourism season between the months of March to May and October and November. During this time, high precipitation causes some lodges and camps to close for the season and some roads and forest trails are impassable. One advantage for wildlife trackers who book cheap flights to Uganda during this period, is that the chance of spotting newborn animals is higher than during the dry season.
