Gorilla Trekking Uganda-8 Days
Destination: Gorilla Trekking Uganda
Country: Uganda
Description
Uganda is a rewarding destination to visit year-round, where you’ll find a warm climate thanks to its location on the equator. There are two main dry seasons, between June and October and December to February, whilst April and May experience the highest rainfall.
The forests of Bwindi and Mgahinga, which are home to the mountain gorillas experience rain and humidity year-round, making waterproof clothing a recommendation even for those travelling in the dry season. International access is through Entebbe city.
