Our own experience about what most clients have preferred as the best time of the year to visit the gorillas is June, July, and August since it’s considered a dry season… April and May as well as October are tricky due to the rains (not heavy though) making it difficult due to steep terrains.

How to get Budget Gorilla Safari Tours
