The best time for gorilla trekking is during the drier months from June to September and December to February. However, trekking is possible year-round. The wet seasons (March-May and October-November) offer lush scenery with fewer tourists, though trails can be more challenging.
Most visitors require a visa, which can be obtained online through Uganda's e-visa system before travel or on arrival at major entry points. Some nationalities are visa-exempt. East African tourists enjoy special arrangements. Always check current requirements for your nationality before traveling.
Essential items include waterproof hiking boots, long-sleeved shirts and trousers, gardening gloves, rain jacket, daypack, water, camera, binoculars, and any personal medications. Porters are available to assist with carrying gear during the trek.
Yes, Uganda is generally safe for tourists, especially in national parks and established tourist areas. We recommend following standard travel precautions and using reputable tour operators like Yombi Journeys for all arrangements, particularly for gorilla trekking permits and transportation.
Recommended vaccinations include Yellow Fever (required), Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, and routine vaccines. Malaria prophylaxis is essential for most regions. Consult your doctor or travel clinic 4-6 weeks before departure for personalized advice based on your itinerary.
Gorilla trekking difficulty varies from moderate to strenuous depending on the gorilla family's location. Treks can last 1-8 hours through challenging terrain. Good physical fitness is recommended, but porters are available to assist. The incredible experience is worth the effort!
