Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Kampala is during the dry season, from June to September. This period offers comfortable temperatures, minimal rainfall, and great conditions for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The wet season, from March to May and October to November, brings heavy rainfall, which may affect travel plans but also provides lush greenery and lower crowd levels at popular sites. This season is a great time to visit if you're seeking a quieter experience.
