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.

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.
