Best Time for Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

The best time for gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is during Uganda’s dry season, which lasts from June to October and again from December to March. During these months, rainfall is minimal, making the trails easier to navigate, and the vegetation is less dense, improving visibility for sightings and photography.

In contrast, the wet season, which occurs from April to May and November, causes the vegetation to grow thicker, potentially making it harder to spot the mountain gorillas. However, trekking during these months can still be rewarding, as the treks are usually shorter. The gorillas tend to stay closer to their feeding grounds since food is more readily available in the forest.

If you’re planning the Gorilla Habituation Experience in Uganda, the activity is available throughout the year, with 99% chances of encountering the gorillas, regardless of the season.
