Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is located in southwestern Uganda and is known for its population of endangered mountain gorillas. The best time to visit the park is during the dry seasons from December to February and from June to August.
During the dry season, the weather is generally mild and dry, making it easier to hike through the forest to reach the gorillas' habitats. The dry season also has fewer mosquitos, which can be a nuisance during the wet season.
However, due to the high demand for gorilla trekking permits during the dry season, it is recommended to book your permit well in advance to ensure availability.
The wet season, from March to May and from September to November, can be challenging for trekking due to the muddy and slippery trails. However, the wet season is also the best time for birdwatching and enjoying the lush greenery of the forest.
In summary, the best time to visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is during the dry season, from December to February and from June to August, when the weather is mild and dry, and the trails are more accessible. However, the wet season can also be a good time to visit for birdwatching and lush scenery.
