Entebbe in February
Great time to visit
The sweet spot of Entebbe's calendar. Dry, warm, and perfect for everything from botanical garden strolls to fishing trips on the lake.
Weather
February continues the dry season bliss with even less rainfall than January. Temperatures climb slightly but the low humidity keeps things comfortable. The harmattan winds from the north sometimes bring hazy skies but also keep mosquitoes at bay.

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.
