Best Time to Book a 4-Day Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi Tour

A 4-Day Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi Tour can be enjoyed throughout the year. The drier periods, generally from June to August and December to February, are often preferred for trekking and outdoor activities. However, Bwindi is a rainforest, so rain can occur at any time.

The wetter months can offer lush landscapes and excellent scenery, although forest trails may become muddy and more challenging. We recommend booking gorilla permits well in advance, especially for popular travel dates and peak seasons.
