Best time for Gorilla Trekking in Africa – When to go for Gorilla trekking in Uganda

Gorilla trekking in Africa can be done all year round, however, some months of the year are known to offer more ideal gorilla trekking conditions. Generally, the dry season is the best time to visit Africa for safaris. There are two dry seasons in Uganda, the longer dry season that runs from June to October and the shorter dry season that that runs from December to January. These dry months of the year offer the best gorilla trekking conditions since the trails are dry, the vegetation is less thick making sightings much easier, and also experience fewer downpours.

However, Gorilla trekking in Uganda can also be done during the wet month of the year, especially for those interested in gorilla photography. These months offer a calm and scenic background for gorilla photography. Book your gorilla trekking tour with Acacia Safaris Limited for the best gorilla experiences in Africa

Mountains gorillas are peaceful vegetarian animals. Their diet mainly consists of foliage. They mostly enjoy the tender bamboo shoots, as well as the bark of eucalyptus trees. The gorilla family is led by the male silverback, which is actually very knowledgeable about medicinal plants and herbs. After eating the gorillas rest a few hours before feeding again. While resting, the young ones play around. In the evening, the group, which does not have a fixed resting place, will form a nest for the overnight.

The nest is made of bamboo sticks and other broad leaves which also act as a blanket against the cold. Gorillas can live up to 45 years and the silverback weighs about 200 kg while the female between 80 to 120kg.
