When to go

For most visitors, the question of when to go to Uganda and Rwanda is usually better phrased as when to go for gorilla trekking. And that’s easy: the best time to go for gorilla trekking is during the two dry seasons: the first from mid-December to early February and the second from early June to late September. You’ll enjoy the easiest hiking conditions, the best gorilla sightings and the lowest malaria risk.

And if you are planning when to go to Uganda and Rwanda for a gorilla trek that also includes other great experiences in Africa, then the two dry seasons combine well with some of the continent’s best holiday destination sat their peak.
