The Mountain gorillas in Uganda are tracked throughout the year and it is up you the traveler when you would like to visit Uganda and go for gorilla tracking experience. We have two seasons in Uganda, The high/peak season that starts from December to March and June to August, as these are the dry seasons of the year.
The Low season starts from march to May and September to November when the rain is much but the lodges put their rates down as way of attract tourists to visit the gorillas, so you can either choose to visit the mountain gorillas when the cost for services is friendly. However, it is almost the same experience and the low season gorillas are better because of lower numbers of tourists, which gives an extra opportunity of viewing the gorillas with a more friendly environment.
