Best Time to Visit

Bwindi can be visited year-round since trekking happens regardless of season, though the two drier windows (June-August and December-February) mean less mud on the trekking trails. Wetter months still offer good trekking - the terrain is simply more demanding underfoot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chimpanzee tracking as strenuous as gorilla trekking?
Generally it's a shorter, more predictable walk than gorilla trekking, since Kibale's chimpanzee troops are well habituated and the forest terrain is gentler, though it still involves walking on uneven forest paths.
