Best Time for Gorilla Trekking in Uganda:

Gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks is available year-round. However, the optimal months are June, July, August, and September, along with December, January, and February. This dry season ensures a more accessible trek through the jungles and slopes. While March, April, May, October, and November offer opportunities for Gorilla trekking, heavy rainfall during these months may present more challenging conditions.
