Best Time for Private Gorilla Safaris
One of the advantages of a private safari is the flexibility to travel whenever suits you best. Gorilla trekking is available year-round, and each season offers unique advantages.
Year-Round Trekking
Gorilla trekking is available every month of the year. With a private safari, you can choose the timing that works best for your schedule.
Dry Season (June-September, December-February)
Easier hikes with less mud, clearer trails, and generally more comfortable trekking conditions. Perfect for those who prefer drier weather.
Green Season (March-May, October-November)
Fewer crowds, lush scenery, vibrant vegetation, and often better accommodation availability. The gorilla experience is equally incredible regardless of season.
