What differentiates the best time from the other seasons is that the dry season makes it easier to trek to through the tropical jungle, photography is clearer and the activity becomes lively because the gorillas are active and not trying to warm up in a single position However, we still suggest your waterproof clothing even during these drier months, as this Equatorial climate is very unpredictable and showers can happen any time. Planning a gorilla safari Rwanda trip should not be any more hectic since you know when. The best time for your gorilla trekking safari in Rwanda could be of help when planning to undertake another Mountain gorilla trekking experience since all habitats are in proximity.
