GORILLA TRACKING:
Gorilla tracking ranks among one of the absolute highlight for a trip to Africa for most travelers and the experience of associating with man's closest kind is indescribable but Soul Touching!
Mountain Gorilla are one of the most endangered species/ apes and are estimated to be 880 left in the world with half the population in Uganda and the rest in Neighboring Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo
Best time to Visit Uganda:
Best time to visit Uganda for
gorilla trekking is during the country's two dry seasons: January and
February and from June to September. However Game viewing in
Uganda's savannah parks is best at the end of the dry seasons - February
and March and September/early October - when wildlife is concentrated around
water sources. Bird watching is fantastic all year round but is at its
peak between November and April when migrant species are present. We'd
recommend avoiding a Uganda safari entirely during the heavy rains of April and
May.
Best time to visit Rwanda:
The best time to visit Rwanda for
a gorilla trek is during the short dry season from mid-December to early
February or over the long dry season months of June to September.
These periods offer by far the easiest hiking conditions and the lowest malaria
risk. The best time for chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe
Forest is during the two rainy seasons - mid-February to early June and mid-September
to mid-December - as the apes are easier to locate. Food is harder to find
in the dry seasons and the chimp families often range far into the forest
interior.
