Note to Clients
It is summer all year-round in Uganda. The country straddles the equator which means there is no winter and non summer and you can come at any time of the year. Temperatures in most parts of the country vary between 25°C and 30°C (77°F and 86°F) dropping only by 5°C overnight. Traditionally May and November are the wetter months in the country where morning cloud build – ups are followed by torrential rain and spectacular thunder and lightening shows. 99% of Ugandans do not own raincoats because the storms are usually short.
We highly recommend booking in advance as Responsible Tourism Company trips often run to capacity. An advance booking will guarantee you a place on the raft.
