Though they are not required, tips are a thank you for the services a ranger, driving guide, waiter, many others in your service chain provides. Although there is no set rule regarding tipping, Katland safaris is ready to provide direction should you so require it.
From Qatar, when would be the ideal time to schedule your Rwanda gorilla trekking and safaris?
Though dry seasons of June, July, August, September, December, January, and February are the most popular, Rwanda is visited all year round. Less rainfall in Rwanda during these months is ideal for activities like gorilla and chimpanzee trekking as less slippery paths simplify your climb.
Dry seasons also overlap with summer and winter seasons in Europe when tourists are visiting Rwanda for safari vacations and gorilla treking. Gorilla and chimpanzee licenses and additional services are thus highly sought after and sometimes fill up rapidly.
If you want to visit Rwanda during peak season, you must arrange your services more specifically gorilla permits in advance of a year if not 4-6 months. Festive seasons like Easter and Christmas call for early booking as other busy periods do.
Too much rain means most avoided months are March, April, May, October, and November. This does not prohibit any activity, however; rather, the rain causes certain activities—like gorilla trekking—to become crowded if not well-prepared. To help you prepare effectively, we therefore advise you to consult our Packing List page.
Traveling or booking your Rwanda gorilla trekking and safari trip from Qatar during low season has certain benefits like, availability of services is not an issue and also many service providers including Hotels and Lodges give some discounts on room rates and meals. Are you arranging your low season Rwanda gorilla trekking and trip from Doha? Kindly contact Katland safaris; we will then provide appropriate advice.
