- Decide on where to go gorilla Trekking: Bwindi or Mgahinga?
Mountain Gorillas in Uganda can only be seen at two (02) locations; Bwindi & Mgahinga National Parks.
Both Bwindi & Mgahinga are great gorilla trekking destinations save for the fact that Bwindi is overly marketed as the best place to go gorilla trekking mainly because of the fact that Gorilla trekking in Uganda all started out in Bwindi in 1993 with Mubare being the first gorilla group to be commissioned for Gorilla tracking.

Best time to go on a budget Gorilla Safari
If planning a budget Uganda gorilla safari, you have got to choose the best time to go on a Budget Safari. Gorilla Trekking has seasons; peak & low season.
The peak Season for Gorilla Trekking in Uganda is in the drier months of January, February, June, July, August, September, and December. During these months, there is less rainfall and sometimes even no rains at all. Most travellers like to plan and book their gorilla safaris for these months because the parks are fairly dry, and the forest trails are a little easier to navigate – of course with minimal gorilla trekking fitness required.
For the mobility challenged, elderly, and disabled persons – Intending to indulge in Gorilla Trekking, a sedan chair carried by local porters can be arranged on request and prior planning is a necessity especially if travelling in the high season months.

Gorilla permits in peak Season are very scarce and usually sold out. We, therefore, recommend pre-booking and paying for your gorilla permits well-in-advance especially if travelling In the High Season – you can do this 1-2 years in advance.
The low season falls in the months of March, April, May, and November. During these months there is rainfall especially in afternoons – something that discourages most travellers from venturing Into Low season gorilla Trekking.
However, it’s important to understand a few facts about the mountain gorillas prior to choosing your ideal gorilla trekking Season. Mountain Gorillas live in tropical rainforests characteristic of rainfall meaning that NOT even the dry season is actually completely dry otherwise trekkers would never be asked to pack rain jacks if travelling in the high season.
Overview: Although gorilla trekking is generally considered a costly venture, doing this in the Peak Season is expensive in regards to the cost of accommodation, and companies will often offer non-negotiable rates for their gorilla packages since the demand then is high compared to the low season months when you have the chance to bargain for a Great value Gorilla Trekking Safari.
