Luxury Lodges in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Planning a visit to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and looking for the best luxury lodges? Bwindi is divided into four sectors, each offering unique accommodations and experiences. These sectors include Nkuringo and Rushaga in the southern part of the park, and Ruhija and Buhoma in the northern and northeastern areas. Gorilla trekking is available in all four sectors, but the Gorilla Habituation Experience (a 4-hour encounter with semi-habituated gorillas) is only available in the southern part, specifically in Rushaga and Nkuringo.

When is the Best Time for Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park?

The best time to go gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is during the dry season from June to October and December to March. During this period, Uganda experiences mild rainfall, making trekking conditions ideal. The vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot and photograph the mountain gorillas.

While the wet season, from April to May and November, causes the vegetation to grow thicker, it can still be a great time for trekking. The treks tend to be shorter, as the gorillas don’t travel far in search of food. However, visibility may be limited during these months. The Gorilla Habituation Experience is available year-round, with a 99% chance of seeing mountain gorillas.
