The dry season is the best time for Gorilla Tracking Uganda when the ground is dry. It starts in June, July, August, September, December, January, and February. During the dry season, the habitat is kept drier which makes it easier for trekkers to hike through dense vegetation and steep slopes to search for mountain gorillas unlike during the wet/rainy season when there is plenty of rainfall which makes the ground muddy and slippery.

The wet season is also considered the low season and starts in March, April, May, October, and November. The advantage of trekking mountain gorillas during the wet or rainy season is that there is plenty of forage for these great apes to depend on and visitors can take fewer hours since they do not move further distances to search for what to feed on in the course of the day.
