Visiting Queen Elizabeth National Park during the dry season

The lengthy dry season,

This begins in June and lasts through July and August, is the best time to explore Queen Elizabeth Park in western Uganda. The brief dry season, which begins in mid-December and lasts until late February, is also a great time to visit.

The two dry seasons in Uganda are ideal for a safari vacation in Queen Elizabeth. The weather is generally dry, with a few light showers thrown in from time to time. Because animals must frequent water sources to drink, the vegetation is thin, making it easy to spot wildlife.

During the dry season, there are fewer pests and it takes less time to navigate the roadways. During the month of February, which is the dry season, during the rainy season, the roads leading to Queen Elizabeth National Park are slick and muddy, making it impossible for cars to pass through the lodge.

At the same time, because there are fewer visitors to Queen Elizabeth National Park, hotels provide cheaper lodging rates to visitors, and tour companies have discounted deals for visitors to Queen Elizabeth National Park.

On the other hand, in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the rainy season begins in March, peaks in April, and lasts through the end of May. The brief rains, on the other hand, start around September and last until the middle of December. Parts of October and November are the busiest months.

Because of the reserve’s pure natural splendor, only a few discerning safari travelers visit during these green seasons. The rains offer a wonderful rush of new flora, but finding animals among the greenery may take longer.

Furthermore, because there is always plenty of precipitation available in the inner waterholes, the animals will approach the lakes or the Kazinga Channel for water less frequently.

Although traveling by car takes longer, you may expect to save money on your hotel or accommodation where you will be able to stay. Therefore, for if you visit during the rainy season, keep in mind that it does not rain continually throughout the day.

There are times when the skies are clear and the sun shines brilliantly. It may also rain in a few isolated places while remaining dry in others. Because of the weather, your guide may have to reschedule your game drives, boat rides, and nature walks though this is rare at times.
