Rwenzori Mountains National Park â Best Time to Visit
JanâFeb & JunâAugust (drier trekking windows on massifs)
Dry vs green season
Two dry-ish peaks (DecâFeb and JunâSep) drive most savanna planning; primate forests stay humid year-round. Green months can mean lower rates, dramatic skies, and excellent birdingâroads and trek difficulty vary.
Crowds and permits
Gorilla and chimp permits are quota-capped dailyâholiday weeks sell out first. Savanna parks feel busier at Mweya and Paraa boat launch windows; remote Kidepo stays quieter but costs more in access time.
