Uganda in March – Start of the Rainy Season & Lush Safari Adventures

In Uganda, March is a special month because it marks the beginning of the short rainy season, which lasts from March to May.

Travelers looking to experience lush green landscapes, fewer visitors, and amazing animal sightings will find this time of year interesting, as it offers a different side of Uganda’s natural beauty.

March provides a great chance to explore Uganda’s variety of wildlife and Savannah landscapes, whether you are interested in gorilla trekking, safari tours, or cultural experiences.

Even though March is the start of the rainy season, you can still enjoy many outdoor activities without being constantly disrupted by heavy rain because the showers are usually short and infrequent.

The rainfall during this time refreshes Uganda’s landscapes, creating green surroundings that are perfect for nature lovers and photographers.

The national parks become more lively, filled with rich plant and animal life, as the dust from the dry season settles.

March is a great time to visit Uganda because there are fewer tourists compared to the peak months of June through September.

Popular attractions like gorilla trekking, wildlife safaris, and cultural tours will be more peaceful and exclusive with fewer visitors.

The quieter environment allows for a closer connection with nature and wildlife, as well as more personal attention from guides and accommodation hosts.

Uganda’s amazing waterfalls come to life with the rains, especially those in the Rwenzori Mountains and Murchison Falls. The increased water flow enhances these natural wonders, making it a perfect time for photographers and nature lovers to capture the country’s beauty.

The lush green surroundings during this season add to Uganda’s charm, whether you are hiking in the mountains or on a safari.
