Gorilla trekking is done all throughout the year. The dry seasons in these areas are the best for the gorilla trekking experiences that is from June to September and December to March. It’s easier to trek to the higher altitudes where mountain gorillas stay during dry seasons when there’s rainfall that makes the terrain slippery and muddy thus making it difficult to achieve to gorilla nests easily. Also gorillas like any other animals tend to roam more during the dry season creating higher chances of finding them easier than during the wet seasons.
