Rwanda Gorilla Trekking and Tracking Safaris

Gorilla trekking and tracking in Rwanda - amazing primate safaris

After independence, Rwanda leaped to fame as the Land of Gorillas in the Mist, adopted home of Diane Fosey and the most important refuge of the rare mountain gorilla. Gorilla tracking in the Virunga was Rwanda’s premier attraction, supplemented by the mesmerizing savannah and plains wildlife of Akagera National Park.

Rwanda is home to almost half of the 750 mountain gorillas found in the wild. The tiny country is at the forefront of gorilla conservation efforts of the endangered mountain gorillas in the Virunga Massif.

Best Time to Visit Rwanda for Gorilla Trekking
Being tropical, equatorial country, Rwanda is a year-round destination. However, climate varies geographically.  Northern and Western Rwanda is wet while the eastern side is drier.  There are 4 distinct seasons in Rwanda

>>>Mid-december to Early February - Short Dry Season
Good time for gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National park. Forest is drier and more accessible.

>>>Mid-February to June – Rainy Season
If you are considering Rwanda gorilla tracking safari, note that the long rainy season starts from mid-february till early June. The earth-roads are muddy. It is generally very wet and there are lots of mosquitoes. 

But for Chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe forest, this period is better as the chimps are easy to find not having to go deeper into the remote parts of the forest. This time if also better for photographers as the air is clearer giving the stunning views of the rolling hills and country side scenery.

>>>June  to September -  Long Dry Season
This is the best time to go gorilla tracking in Volcanoes National park. The roads are in good shape. It is also a good time for chimpanzee tracking and hiking in Nyungwe forest park.

>>>October to Mid-December – Short Rainy Season
Heavy rains in the eastern mountains therefore might not be the best time for gorilla trekking, even though the gorilla are resident and will be there all through the year.
