Introduction
The gorillas live atop the highest altitudes in the mountains and have been pushed further up due to loss of habitat. They can be seen all year round and you can decide the best time for gorilla trekking. Although, dry seasons are generally considered better than the rainy season. The dry seasons – from mid-December to February and from June to September – are better in terms of conditions for trekking and trail.
Those who enjoy trekking in rain can choose any time, they will also benefit from seeing the gorillas up close at lower altitudes. During the remaining two-period – March to May and October to December – mountain gorillas descent to lower altitudes to enjoy milder temperatures and access to food.
Gorilla trekking is undoubtedly an experience you will cherish for the rest of your life. The trek in these mountains that can last anywhere between an hour up to 8 hours is rewarding in many ways. The permits issued can cost anywhere between 800 and 1500 USD and allow you to spend a maximum of 1 hour with the gorilla family. The limit of spending human interaction time with the gorillas is essential so that they don’t get used to the human presence and can also avoid the common diseases that these gorillas may contract due to the similarities with humans.
All in all, gorilla trekking is an experience of a lifetime and it is something you will never regret. The wildlife aficionados and those looking to get upclose and personal with these gentle beasts of the wild are in for a treat in gorilla trekking. So pack your bags, wear your hiking boots and get ready for the expedition.
