Embark on a Uganda safari in October, a month characterized by rain, offering a unique adventure for nature enthusiasts. While not ideal for wildlife viewing and gorilla trekking due to the rain, this period marks the beginning of the shoulder season. Take advantage of lower price rates and increased lodge availability, even though the weather may be unpredictable. Despite occasional rainfall, expect warm temperatures, making the experience still enjoyable.
Though most national parks may not be at their prime, Murchison Falls National Park remains accessible year-round. This presents an excellent opportunity to witness the majestic Nile River and its impressive falls, adding a captivating dimension to your October Uganda safari.
Gorilla tracking permits are readily available during the rainy season, making it an opportune time to plan your safari and secure great deals on accommodations. While the challenging conditions underfoot may not suit everyone, those seeking an adventurous challenge will find this period rewarding. Depending on when the rains arrive, the beginning of October might even offer dry spells, and until heavy rains set in, wildlife will congregate around diminishing waterholes.
Before embarking on your journey, ensure your vaccinations are up-to-date and secure comprehensive travel insurance covering medical evacuations. Pack necessary medications, including a well-stocked first aid kit with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antidiarrheal medication, antibacterial ointment, antimalarial tablets, rehydration electrolyte sachets, insect spray and repellent, water purification tablets, and bandages.
