Tips for a Successful Trek:
Ensure you have physical fitness; while the gorilla trek can be challenging, it’s achievable for most people with a moderate level of fitness. Be prepared for steep slopes, muddy trails, and varying weather conditions in order to have the best experience that everyone wishes to have.
Ensure you have essential gear such as comfortable hiking boots, waterproof clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and plenty of water.
Maintain a safe distance from the gorillas, follow your guide’s instructions, and avoid sudden movements or loud noises.
Capture the moments; bring a camera to capture the magic of your encounter and great gorilla portraits. But remember to turn off the flash to avoid disturbing the gorillas.
Best time for Rwanda Gorilla trekking
Rwanda gorilla trekking can be done all year round, but probably the best time for gorilla trekking in Rwanda is during the dry seasons from June to September, with a long dry season, and December to February, with quite a short dry season
The dry season is usually termed as the Peak Season and is usually from June to September and December to February. This offers a conducive environment for the visitors, and this is because the trails in Volcanoes National Park are drier and less slippery, making the steep hikes much easier. Visibility is clearer for photography for those who like memories, since tourism is full of memories
In the rainy Season, it is usually termed the low/Green Season. This one is full of lush vegetation that is very green for animal for the animals. It is usually from March to May and October to November, with fewer crowds on the trails, easier last-minute permit availability, and some luxury lodges offer discounts. The hikes are more challenging with thick mud and slippery slopes.
