The best time for gorilla trekking is during the dry seasons from June to August and December to February. During these times, the trails are less slippery, and the dense forests are easier to navigate. However, trekking is possible and rewarding all year round.

Gorilla permits are limited and highly sought after. They are issued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and the Rwanda Development Board (RDB). As your preferred tour operator, Ripple Safaris secures these permits on your behalf as part of your safari package.
