Entebbe in April
Not the best time
The rainiest month makes outdoor exploration tough. But if you're here for the wildlife center or as a stopover, the cheap prices help.
Weather
April brings Entebbe's wettest month with daily afternoon deluges that can last for hours. The air stays thick and humid around 85%, and mornings often start misty. Lake Victoria looks moody and dramatic but swimming becomes less appealing.

All Months
Entebbe's best months run from June through August and December through February. The dry seasons mean less rain, better roads, and clearer lake views. Temperatures hover around 25°C year-round – comfortable but humid.
Avoid March through May if possible. The long rains turn dirt roads into muddy rivers, and some attractions close temporarily. But accommodation prices drop by 30%, so budget travelers might find the trade-off worthwhile.
October and November bring shorter rains that usually clear by afternoon. This is actually a lovely time to visit – everything stays green, tourist numbers are low, and you'll have the botanical gardens mostly to yourself.
The lake creates its own microclimate, so even during dry season, expect afternoon thunderstorms. Pack a light rain jacket regardless of when you visit.
