Uganda has a warm tropical climate with temperatures ranging from 25 to  29 °C apart from the mountainous areas, which are cooler by as much as 7 or 8 °C. There is often a light drizzle in highland areas. Rain can also be expected on some days in more lowland areas.

We recommend you see your travel doctor to prepare for this trip!
