Best Time To Visit

The dry seasons (June to August and December to February) are best for gorilla trekking in Bwindi and wildlife safaris, with clear trails and sunny days. The wet seasons (March to May and September to November) offer lush landscapes and fewer crowds but require preparation for rain. Gorilla permits should be secured in advance.
