During this month of April, the accommodation facilities like the lodges have less occupancy they therefore tend to reduce their accommodation rates for the rooms so that they can survive in this low season until the peak season comes back again and the dry season is usually the months of June – October and December – February. Lodges also easily give discounted rate to group travelers who have to enjoy the Gorilla tracking adventure.
Another secret that you should travel in April is that during this rainy season the forest trees are said to be flowering and this is an advantage in disguise where you will have an opportunity to enjoy viewing a number of bird species that come to these flowers to collect juice as you enjoy the calling of their voices while on your Gorilla trek adventure in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks.
Although it may not be difficulty to do Gorilla trekking in April since it is a rainy season we usually advise you to prepare themselves before they set off for their Gorilla tracking safari in April. Since April is a rainy season we advise you to carry strong water proof jackets, such that in case it rains while trekking it can help them not to get wet.
We advise you to get rid of the rainy season and they should know what to carry so that you do not ruin your Gorilla tracking safari in April.
