Uganda is one of the most experienced countries in the world at managing Ebola, and has successfully contained every outbreak it has ever faced. The two recent cases in Kampala were caught quickly, are being managed, and are not connected to any safari destination.

The parks, the gorillas, the chimpanzees, and everything you came for are completely unaffected. Uganda's health authorities responded within hours and the country has strong, practiced systems for exactly this kind of situation.

You are in good hands, and your safari experience is going ahead as planned.

Kenya is where the word "safari" was written into the modern imagination. The dust, the light, the silence before a lion roars. This is the country that made the world want to come to Africa, and in 2026, it is still absolutely worth every mile of the journey.

If you are reading this, you are already closer to the trip of your lifetime than you think. Uganda is not a compromise safari destination. It is the destination, and 2026 is the perfect year to go.

"Let's be honest about something.
Most marathons are forgettable. You train for months, you show up to a city you have probably visited before, you run through streets lined with strangers holding signs, you collect your medal, you fly home. The medal goes in a drawer. The memory fades within a year.
The Rwenzori Marathon is not that race."

Uganda doesn't have a bad time to visit. That's not a marketing line - it's genuinely true. Unlike some African destinations where you're gambling on rain or heat, Uganda's equatorial climate means wildlife is present and active year-round. But there are better and best times, depending on what you want to do. This guide breaks it down honestly, month by month.
