What is the best time to go on a safari in Uganda and Rwanda?

The best time for safaris in Uganda and Rwanda is during the dry seasons, from June to September and December to February. These months offer easier trekking conditions for gorillas and chimpanzees, as the forest trails are less muddy, and wildlife is more concentrated around water sources in the savannah parks. However, both countries can be visited year-round, and even the rainy seasons come with lush scenery, fewer crowds, and discounted lodge rates.
