Gorilla trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is done all year round; but with the peak/dry season being the best time to visit. The peak season falls in the dry months of December to February and between June and August. The wet season is in March to May and October to November; tracking gorillas during the rainy season is more challenging because of the overgrown forest vegetation and muddy trails. However visitors shouldn’t be discouraged coming in the rainy season because Bwindi is a tropical forest and rain is expected any time.

Gorilla trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is done all year round; but with the peak/dry season being the best time to visit. The peak season falls in the dry months of December to February and between June and August. The wet season is in March to May and October to November; tracking gorillas during the rainy season is more challenging because of the overgrown forest vegetation and muddy trails. However visitors shouldn’t be discouraged coming in the rainy season because Bwindi is a tropical forest and rain is expected any time.
Gorilla trekking in Bwindi forest starts with a briefing around 7am at the park headquarters depending on the sector you will be tracking that day. After the briefing, trekkers are separated into smaller groups of 8 with each group following a different gorilla family. Some of the groups might start tracking the gorilla family near the park offices while others will need to be driven to starting points in one of the four sectors of the park. The park guides from Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), two armed rangers and porters move with each group. The guides are very experienced, knowledgeable and well trained. They are willing to share information about each of the gorilla group members and Bwindi forest in general.
Gorilla trekking time depends on the location of the gorillas; it can take from 1-6 hours and sometimes even more. A team of trackers normally goes ahead of the group to identify the location of the family and inform the lead guide by radio call of the location of the gorilla group. Trackers know where the gorilla group last built their sleeping nests and will head to that direction. When you find the gorilla group, you will have an hour to watch them feed, play and groom. It is such an exciting moment.
