Uganda is generally a safe and incredibly welcoming country – in the cities as well as in rural areas. Surprisingly it isn’t impaired by its violent past. The country is friendly, and one of the most stable and safe African nations – you’ll be amazed by the cheerfulness of its people.

Uganda can be visited the whole year round. The climate is constant so there is no winter! There are two rainy seasons in central and south western Uganda, from March until May and from September to November when it can rain heavily sometimes, but it is still possible to travel. Only the dirt roads will be muddy in some parts during the wet season, but this can also be part of the real Ugandan experience! The Northern parts have one dry and one wet season.
