Best time to go on a gorilla safari on a budget. Planning for a budget and pocket-friendly gorilla trekking safari to Uganda and Rwanda.
Best time to go on a gorilla safari on a budget. Gorilla trekking has two seasons, and that’s the low season and pick season. The low season falls in March, April, May, and November. This is so because, in these months, gorilla trekking is so challenging because it almost rains every day, especially in the afternoons, and this time discourages many travelers from venturing into gorilla trekking in the low season months.
The peak season for gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda falls into the drier months of January, February, June, July, August, September, and December. Gorilla trekking is usually at its peak in these months because the parks are fairly dry, and the gorilla trekking trails are easier to navigate, making the entire gorilla trekking experience a lot easier.
Getting gorilla permits in the peak season is always very competitive and that’s why we recommend a pre-booking and payment of your gorilla permits early enough especially when considering trekking in the high season. You can book your gorilla permit a year or even two years in advance for easier preparation for the entire experience.
Gorilla permits in Uganda cost 800 dollars per person per trek spending not more than an hour with the gorilla in either Mgahinga National Park or Bwindi Impenetrable National Game Park.
Gorilla permits in Rwanda cost 1500 dollars per person per trek spending not more than an hour with the mountain gorillas when found in the Volcanoes National Park.
The important thing to note is that mountain gorillas reside in tropical rainforests that’s why we strongly advise that clients very well prepare for the gorilla, and experience parking everything from jackets to walking sticks even in the dry season.
Gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda is considered generally a costly Venture and during the experience in the park, the high season is actually more expensive in regards to accommodation availability since the demand then is at its highest.
We at Katland Safaris offer extremely good gorilla rates and always create room for tailor-making with our clients.
