Gorilla trekking Uganda in November?

Direct answer

November marks Uganda's short-rains shoulder month—treks still run daily but trails get muddier and mist thicker; UWA discounts foreign permits to 0, making it one of the year's best value windows. Pack gaiters and a light rain shell; combine Bwindi with Kibale chimps (0) when forest paths are wet but forests are lush and crowd levels dip.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit.
