What to pack for Uganda in the spring

Packing list tips

Uganda in the spring image

In Uganda, spring falls between March and May, and it is characterized by warm daytime temperatures and cooler evenings.

Therefore, it is advisable to pack lightweight, breathable clothing such as cotton tops, shorts, and skirts to stay cool during the day. Additionally, it is important to bring a light jacket or sweater for the cooler evenings. Given that Uganda experiences occasional rainfall during the spring season, it is essential to pack rain gear such as a waterproof jacket and umbrella.

Quick-drying clothes and waterproof shoes are also recommended as the streets can get muddy during rainy days. When visiting religious sites or formal events, it is recommended to dress modestly by covering your shoulders and knees. Bringing a couple of scarves or shawls to use as cover-ups can be helpful in such situations.

Don't forget to pack comfortable walking shoes and a hat to protect yourself from the sun while exploring the beautiful landscapes of Uganda during the spring.
