Uganda’s raised topography means a cooler climate than its equatorial setting suggests but if you’re planning a gorilla trek, it’s important to know when to go to Uganda for the easiest trekking conditions. Although it’s regarded as a year-round activity, the best time to visit Uganda for gorilla trekking is during the country’s two dry seasons: January and February and from June to September.
Uganda wildlife authority has a regional office in kisoro town for booking all other activities except mountain gorilla trekking. Great Adventure Safaris can help you book the gorilla permit from Kampala and arrange the whole experience for you.
