Best time to see the Gorillas
The best time to see gorillas in their natural habitat is during the dry seasons, which are typically from June to September and January to February. These months offer the most favorable trekking conditions, as the terrain in the rainforests is less slippery, making it easier to navigate the forests and steep slopes where mountain gorillas live.
During the rainy season (from March to May and October to December), the trails can become muddy and difficult to traverse. However, gorilla trekking is possible year-round, with these dry months offering the most comfortable and reliable experience.
