Gorilla Trekking in Uganda: The Ultimate Guide
By Travel Expert Jane • July 26, 2026

Gorilla Trekking in Uganda: The Ultimate Guide

Trekking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is one of the most remarkable wildlife experiences in the world. With less than 1,060 mountain gorillas remaining, Uganda is home to over half of them. ### What to Pack: - Sturdy hiking boots with good grip. - Long-sleeved shirts and trousers to protect against thorns and nettles. - Gardening gloves for holding onto vegetation. - Rain jacket (Bwindi is a rainforest, rain can fall anytime). - Insect repellent. ### Trekking Rules: - Keep a distance of 7 to 10 meters from the gorillas. - Do not use flash photography. - Avoid looking directly into the eyes of a silverback for too long. - Keep voices low.

Best Time to Visit Uganda for a Safari
By Nature Guide Moses • July 26, 2026

Best Time to Visit Uganda for a Safari

Uganda can be visited year-round due to its equatorial climate, but certain months are better suited for specific activities. ### Dry Seasons (June to August & December to February) This is the **best time for gorilla trekking** and savannah game viewing. Wildlife gathers around water sources in national parks like Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth, making them easier to spot. Hiking trails are less muddy. ### Wet Seasons (March to May & September to November) Known as the green season, this is ideal for birdwatching as migratory birds arrive. Lodges are less crowded and often offer discounted rates. The vegetation is lush, providing gorgeous photography backdrops.
