Best Time for Uganda Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking From Australia
The Midrange 5 Days Uganda Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking From Australia can be enjoyed throughout the year, subject to trekking permit and accommodation availability.
The relatively drier periods, generally June to September and December to February, are popular for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking because forest trails may be easier to navigate.
However, both Kibale and Bwindi are tropical rainforest environments, and rainfall can occur at any time.
The wetter seasons offer lush green landscapes, beautiful photography opportunities and excellent forest scenery, although trekking trails may become slippery.
Australian travellers planning to visit during popular holiday periods should book well in advance to secure their preferred gorilla and chimpanzee trekking dates.
