Best Time to Visit Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls National Park can be visited year-round thanks to Uganda’s tropical climate, but the best time to visit is during the dry seasons from December to February and June to September. During these months, wildlife viewing is at its peak as animals gather around water sources, and game drives are easier due to drier tracks. The wet seasons, while quieter, offer lush scenery and excellent birdwatching opportunities, making the park a rewarding destination in any season.
Months
December, January, February, June, July, August, September
Highlights

Considerations
