It’s essential to note that gorilla tracking in Uganda has a minimum age requirement of 15 years. This same age limit applies to Golden Monkey tracking. To avoid any disruptions or disappointments, ensure that all participants meet this age requirement. For other primate tracking activities such as Chimpanzee tracking, the age limit is set at 12 years and above.
When planning your affordable gorilla safaris in Mgahinga National Park, timing can make all the difference. While gorilla tracking is available year-round, the dry months of June, July, August, September, December, January, and early February are particularly favored for this activity. These drier periods reduce the likelihood of heavy rainfall, although it’s essential to prepare for potential sudden showers, given that Bwindi Forest National Park is a tropical rainforest.
