Uganda in September

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Wildlife is less prominent in September than in the previous month, but lush green scenery and newborn animals take centre stage this month.

Birding is an excellent activity this time, and you can see and photograph over 370 species of birds. These include the African grey parrot, the black-and-white casqued hornbill, the red-headed bluebill, the great blue turaco, and the red-billed paradise flycatcher.

The significant part about his month is that photographic safaris are excellent this time.

On the other hand, forest trails have been quite challenging since September, so gorilla trekking is not a great activity this month. Still, you can take advantage of other activities such as spa treatments and yoga classes.

Weather in September

The wet season is common in September, and activities are limited this time around. However, birding is excellent at this time of year.

Highlight Park to Visit in Uganda

Kibale National Park

Chimpanzee is more common here than gorilla trekking. However, with the wet season underway, it is difficult to walk on forest trails, and this activity is unavailable. On the other hand, birding is at its prime as migratory birds are present and newborn animals are common at this time of year.

Activities to do in September

  • Birding
  • Spa treatments
