The Perks of Low-Season Gorilla Trekking

While the low season has nothing that the high season doesn’t have, there are some perks to enjoy.

The downsides of low-season gorilla trekking

A low-season gorilla trek is just like one in the high-season – plus a few more downpours, which are usually strong but also short. With the right gear, muddy trails and short rain showers won’t stop you from enjoying the trek.


Save more, experience more

There’s so much you get for 200 USD: noise-cancelling headphones, an e-reader, or a fitness watch. Or you “buy” more memories. And while you’re in Uganda, we have some activities that might fit your style. If you want to see all the activities Uganda has in store for you, simply click here.
