Uganda in July

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

July marks one of the best times for gorilla trekking. Tracks are easier to navigate, and gorillas are easier to spot.

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is a fantastic park with incredible scenery, including volcanic peaks and distant lakes.

While mountain gorillas and golden monkeys are the star animals, other animals reside here. These include buffalo, seen occasionally, while elephants and leopards are rare in the park, so make sure you tick off your list if you do happen to see them!

Other animals you can prepare to see are bushbuck, side-striped jackal, giant forest hog, and bushpig.

Since heavy rain isn’t expected around this time, a photography safari is excellent in July.

Weather in July

The skies are clear, and more sunshine is present. Gorilla trekking is excellent, as trails are now easier to navigate.

Highlight Park to Visit in Uganda

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

July is the perfect time to visit Mgahinga Gorilla National Park since it is one of the best months for gorilla trekking. Time spent with gorillas is more pleasant this time around since sunny weather is more common.
