Uganda in February

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

February, much like January, presents an excellent opportunity for an unforgettable gorilla trekking safari. However, it’s important to note that conditions may not favour a photographic safari, as the environment can often appear hazy.

While the chances of encountering larger mammals may be lower during this time, keen observers might spot buffalo and, on rare occasions, the elusive elephants and leopards.

In Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, visitors can encounter a diverse range of wildlife, including bushbuck, the side-striped jackal, the giant forest hog, and bushpig.

Additionally, this park is renowned for its population of mountain gorillas and the unique golden monkey, making it a must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts.

Weather in February

The wet season is well underway as rainfall increases in February. Temperatures are generally still warm, and gorillas can still be tracked at this time of year.

Highlight Park to Visit in Uganda

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

Since rain is common in February, time spent outside can be limited. But gorilla trekking is still possible at this time of year. While there is wildlife in Uganda, not much occurs in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park except for the buffalo, which you see on an occasional basis.

Activities to do in February

  • Gorilla trekking
  • Spa treatments
  • Birding
  • Yoga classes
