Gorilla Trekking In Rainy Season (Best African Safari Guide)
Gorilla trekking in rainy season, wet season – Season Gorilla trekking with Guaranteed Gorilla permits in Uganda and Rwanda
Trekking gorillas in the rainy season. Mountain gorilla trekking is still the highlight of all tourist activities in Africa. Mountain gorillas can be seen all year round but, in this article, we shall dig deep into gorilla trekking during the rainy season. Gorilla trekking can only be done in three countries namely; Uganda, which has two gorilla trekking destinations: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park, and Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park. In Congo, mountain gorillas can be trekked in Virunga National Park, while low-land gorillas can be trekked in Kahuzi Biega National Park. In Rwanda, the mountain gorillas can be trekked at Volcanoes National Park. Being a thrilling but highly-priced activity for tourists many tend to look out for the best time and weather to go on a gorilla trekking safari in any country of the countries of their choice. Several travelers prefer traveling in the dry months of the year however gorilla trekking in the wet season is also advantageous.
Travelers should take into consideration that the mountain gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda reside in tropical rain forests and such experience is equatorial or tropical which is characterized by rains all year round. This explanation makes you comprehend that it can rain at any time of the day even during the dry season hence gorilla trekkers must prepare for rain during both seasons.
Reasons why should consider gorilla trekking in the rainy season
The beneficial reason as to why tourists should go for mountain gorilla trekking in the rainy season is that there is no competition for gorilla permits availability hence gorilla permits can be booked at any time of the month. The wet seasons are therefore known as the low season in Uganda and Rwanda. During the low season, lodges offer discounts this is done to attract business to keep the lodges running in the low season. For this reason, we always encourage our clients who are on a tight budget to book their primate safaris in the rainy season.
Adventurous clients with the appropriate gear can meet the gorillas but must be ready to enjoy the challenges of the rain which include slippery grounds and dripping forests to reach the mountain gorillas. The chances of seeing mountain gorillas are as good as those of the dry season.
Some clients are discouraged going for gorilla trekking safaris in the wet season but in my understanding, the wet season is the best time of the year to go for gorilla trekking safaris. During the wet season, trekkers enjoy the best experience as gorilla trekking is for the fittest who can endure the rains and slippery grounds.
