Best Time to Go for this Luxury Uganda Tanzania Safari:
The best time to go for this luxury Uganda Tanzania Safari is during the dry seasons, from June to October and again from December to February. These months provide the clearest skies, comfortable temperatures, and the easiest travel conditions between parks. In Uganda, the drier months are ideal for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking because forest trails are less slippery and visibility is better for photography. Wildlife viewing in Tanzania also peaks during the same period, as animals gather around water sources, offering incredible game viewing in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. For travelers hoping to witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti, July to September presents the best chance to see dramatic river crossings and large predator action.
How To Get There:
Getting to these destinations is seamless and scenic, offering both air and road options. Your journey begins with a pickup from Entebbe International Airport, followed by a 4- to 5-hour drive to Lake Mburo National Park.
From there, the drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park takes about 6 hours, passing through rolling hills and local villages. The return journey from Bwindi to Entebbe takes roughly 9 to 10 hours, with optional stops at the Equator line for a cultural experience. Alternatively, take a scheduled flight from either Kisoro airstrip or Kihihi airstrip to Entebbe for about 1 hour.
You’ll then take a flight from Entebbe to Kilimanjaro International Airport, Tanzania, which takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes. The Tanzanian leg includes short scenic drives between the northern circuit parks—about 2.5 hours from Arusha to Tarangire, 5 hours from Tarangire to Serengeti via Ngorongoro, and roughly 4 hours from Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater. Each transfer is private and guided, ensuring maximum comfort, flexibility, and a smooth luxury experience across both countries.
