Uganda in January

Africa is home to a remarkable array of diverse and large mammals that can be observed in their natural habitats, particularly on the expansive open plains. Wildlife enthusiasts have the opportunity to experience unique boat or mokoro safaris, which provide an intimate way to explore the region’s waterways.

One of the standout destinations for wildlife viewing at this time of year is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The seasonal conditions during this period facilitate gorilla sightings, making it an optimal time for gorilla trekking experiences.

Although the park is accessible for gorilla trekking year-round, this month is particularly advantageous for visitors looking to engage in this extraordinary wildlife experience.
