Uganda Safari in February – Uganda holiday in February – Gorilla & Chimpanzee trekking safaris
Uganda safari in February – Although February is still being a dry season, February begins to see a drop in numbers of tourists, and prices of some hotels and lodges and availability of services are most likely to change accordingly. As with January, February is a great time for bird watching, Gorilla tracking, boat safaris and particularly game viewing.
As Uganda moves towards the end of the dry season, vegetation will become sparse and therefore wildlife is easier to spot as they start to gather round the remaining waterholes. Uganda is good to visit in February since it is a good time to visit the Uganda national parks in the south and in the north of the country. It is particularly hot and dusty.
Kibale Forest National Park is splendid in February so you will be able to witness up to 13 species of primate in the park from vervets and Colobus monkeys to the much-loved Chimpanzees. As the trekking trails will be dry, walking shouldn’t be too strenuous therefore this is a great time for travelers of all abilities to track the Chimpanzees.
