Best Time for Gorilla Trekking in Uganda
When To Go To See The Mountain Gorillas In Africa?

Gorilla trekking is all year around in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. The best time to go gorilla trekking in during the months of June, July, August, September and December. There are less rains and the parks are drier, making it simple to hike and see the gorillas .In Bwindi the average temperature throughout the year is 11°C/52°F in the morning and 23°C/73°F in the afternoon.
January and February: Low season offering less huge crowds. Very little or on rain.

Be Physically Fit:

Trekking to see mountain gorillas in Rwanda and Uganda can be physically demanding. Being in decent shape and prepared for what’s involved will greatly increase your chances of success. Often, the gorilla group you’re tracking can be found fairly quickly, but in some cases you can be on the trail for several hours, walking across uneven and sometimes slippery terrain with frequent steep ups and downs, in a climate you may not be familiar with.

If you’re a regular hiker or hillwalker, you should be fine.

Gorilla trekking isn’t as challenging as trekking in the Himalayas, but it’s certainly no easy-going stroll in the park either. Stamina is more important than speed, however, and no-one treats it as a race because you only get an hour with the gorillas no matter how early you arrive, so there’s no point in rushing. The reason for that is, research shows any longer than an hour of exposure to humans can cause the gorillas distress.

Zanzibar:

Offers a beautiful tropical island experience with white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant culture.
Direct flights from Entebbe make it a convenient choice.
