When to travel to Africa for mountain gorilla trekking
You can go and visit the mountain gorillas of Africa at any time of the year you wish to trek. But the best seasons in Africa run from June-August and December-February because during this period the hiking trails are not too slippery and muddy and making gorilla trekking excellent. However African weather is unpredictable so at any time it can rain even though in the dry season. During the wet season that is from March, April, May, October, and November, Africa receives few tourists because in this period most of the hiking trails are used to be slippery and muddy which makes the gorilla trekking experience difficult though during this season the gorillas are looking healthier and no longer move long distance since there is enough food in the forest. Wet months is also good for bird lovers.
