Climate
Uganda is located around the equator. Because of this, the climate is pleasant the whole year through! Traveling in Uganda is, for this reason, not limited by climate! The temperatures average between 22 and 32ºC. In the higher location areas the temperature drops quite a lot (mainly at night). This is in areas like Bwindi, Kisoro, Lake Bunyonyi, Mount Elgon, Sipi Falls and Rwenzori Mountains.
Due to climate changes it’s hard to predict when the rainy seasons will be. However; the heavy rainy season is normally in March – May, light rainy season is November – December, though there will always be plenty hours of sunshine.
Visa Uganda
A visa for Uganda is $100 US per person.
The Ugandan currency is the Ugandan Shilling.
In Uganda they do NOT accept US dollars given out before 2008.
When you exchange money, use big notes (50 or 100 US dollar). The exchange rate of smaller notes is much lower.
Make sure notes are not cut, or damaged in any way. They will not be accepted.
