Equator crossing Uganda has a modified two rainy seasons, hence consumers link the rainy season with the optimum time to hike Gorillas in Uganda. This is true as the rain that wets the ground and makes it so slick makes it tough to hike and walk.

For this reason, some Gorilla families may have to travel for some time to get the trail heads’ beginning sites; if you do not have a 4×4 vehicle, you may not be able to reach Gorillas. The ideal time to hike Gorillas in Uganda is to avoid the wet seasons as sometimes foliage grows quicker than others, something that may limit opportunities of visibility and photography.

Although Mountain Gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda may be walked all year long, drier months of June, July, August, and early September then December up to February are the most sought after. Since Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a tropical rain forest and local microenvironment affects its temperature, there is no guarantee that it won’t rain. This always relies on the state of the weather on that specific day; so, we are also seeing various variations in our climate, which results in occasional very unexpected rain.

Bwindi is usually chilly, cold, and sometimes chilled most notably in the evening through out to the early morning hours. In this instance, at some point it turns out to be raining. It only becomes hotter when you begin to go towards the Jungle Mountain Gorillas.
