Best time to hire a car with roof top tent
You can hire a car in Uganda regardless of the time you choose to visit the country but for the best, memorable experience we recommend visiting the country during the dry season of the year.
This takes place between the months of June – September and December – February. This is because the sun is always out in full giving the visitors an avenue to trek well when the trails are not slippery.
For travelers visiting Savannah national parks, the grass is usually open which allows clear spotting on the various wildlife species as they roam freely in the park.
