Lake Mburo National Park is open year-round, but the Dry seasons from June to August and December to February are the best times for general wildlife viewing as animals gather around the lake and other water sources. Wildlife viewing is still OK in the Wet seasons from March to May and from September to November and at this time the park is lush and scenic.


Best Time June to August and December to February (Dry seasons)
High Season June to September (This is the peak of the gorilla tracking season, bringing more people to Lake Mburo as well)
Low Season April, May, October and November (Some lodges and camps shut down)
Best Weather June, July and January to February (Little rainfall)
Worst Weather March to May and September to November (High rainfall, traveling on roads may become challenging)
