The best time for a Uganda safari is during the two dry seasons: from June to August and from December to February. During these months, the weather is pleasant, roads are accessible, and wildlife gathers around water sources, making it easier to spot animals like gorillas, lions, and elephants.

Yes, Uganda is considered very safe for tourists. The country has a stable government, a well-developed tourism industry, and friendly locals. At Living Waters Tours, we prioritize your safety with reliable vehicles, experienced guides, and secure accommodations throughout your trip.

Gorilla permits are issued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and must be secured in advance. We handle all permit acquisitions for you as part of our safari package to ensure you get a trekking slot on your preferred date. Permits are highly limited, so early booking is essential.

We recommend packing neutral-colored clothing (khaki, brown, green), sturdy hiking boots, a rain jacket, long trousers, a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a good camera with extra batteries. We provide a detailed packing list upon booking your safari.
