The Cheapest Months to See Gorillas in Uganda Without the Crowds

The cheapest months to see gorillas in Uganda without the crowds. Uganda gorilla trekking is one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences in Africa. Walking through the ancient rainforest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, you still need a gorilla permit — what changes is lodge pricing and how busy the trail feels.

April, May and November are often wetter, with more availability and sometimes better lodge rates. June to August and December to February are drier underfoot and busier. Afrisites Tours and Travel books permits for Bwindi and Mgahinga and will tell you what is actually open for your dates.
