Gorilla trekking Rwanda in December?

Direct answer

December starts Rwanda's second dry season—holiday peak demand, crisp mornings at Kinigi, and excellent trekking through Christmas and New Year. Book permits and Bisate or Singita rooms 9–12 months ahead; combine with Kigali's Genocide Memorial and craft markets on arrival day.

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.
