Gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda are available throughout the year, although gorilla permits are in high demand during the dry months of January, February, June, July, August, September, and December. This is because most tourists prefer trekking during the dry season when the trails are less muddy and slippery.

But it should be noted that Gorilla trekking destinations do not necessarily stay away from throughout the rainy season. Surprisingly, the periods of March, April, May, October, and November provide more favorable and expedient trekking demands. This is due to the abundance of food available for gorillas in the jungle throughout the months, which results in the primates staying in close proximity and not venturing too far.

Gorilla trekking expeditions

To save endangered and vulnerable mountain gorillas, tourists must adhere to particular rules and regulations prior to, during, and after their gorilla trek.
Mountain gorillas, by science referred to as gorilla beringei, are a sub-species of Eastern gorillas. There are at least 1004 mountain gorillas living in the mountainous region tropical forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the Virunga Conservation Area. The Virunga Conservation Area includes Uganda’s Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, and Congo’s the Virunga region National Park.
Mountain gorillas are very susceptible to contagious diseases, such as flu, cold, cough, influenza, and Ebola, which can be transmitted between people and gorillas. people rate the vulnerability of mountain gorillas to these diseases at up to 98.2%. Furthermore, it is important to note that gigantic apes, like other untamed creatures, have the potential to pose a threat to humans if they are provoked, even if they have become accustomed to human presence. As a result, those who embark on treks with these animals are consistently provided with detailed instructions on how to behave and what actions to avoid. Hence, we classify the suggestions for gorilla trekking into instructions to follow prior to, during, and while encountering the mountain gorillas.
