Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Gorilla trekking Uganda in July?

Direct answer

July is peak Uganda gorilla season—dry Bwindi trails, highest permit competition, and holiday crowds across all four sectors. The 0 UWA permit sells out months ahead; fly Entebbe–Kihihi on AeroLink to preserve energy and pair trekking with Queen Elizabeth game drives on a 7–8 day circuit.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
