What is the best time for Uganda safari gorilla?

Uganda gorilla safaris is an experience that is offered to travelers throughout the year however there is the best time to enjoy gorilla trekking in Uganda.

The best time to explore the mountain gorillas is during the dry season which is known as the peak/high season since Bwindi forest is a tropical rainforest and receives rainfall throughout the year. However although it is a dry season it is always hard to predict rainfall, we therefore advise travelers to always carry a water proof rain jacket in case it rains while trekking.

During the rainy season, the  trekking trails are muddy, wet and slippery thus hiking the rolling hills of Bwindi forest to trek the mountain gorillas becomes difficulty and will require some physical fitness to search for the mountain gorilla family. However if the travelers has difficulties in climbing, there is an alternative to be allocated to the nearby gorilla family.

In conclusion since Uganda gorilla safari are operated throughout the year, it is important to known what to carry on your gorilla safari depending on which season you are to do the gorilla family.
