When is the best time to visit Kibale?
According to research from environmental experts, the best time to visit Kibale is during the dry season, from December to February or June to August. During these months, trekking is easier and visibility is better.
The wet season, from March to May and September to November, may bring muddy and slippery trails, fog, and moisture. However, one benefit of visiting in the wet season is that chimpanzees are often easier to see as they come down to the ground to feed on the available food. You can access this experience through other gates like Kanyanchu Gate.
Buraiga Gate is open all year round, even during the wet season. After your day of trekking chimpanzees, you will return to your chosen lodge to relax. Lodges are available for every budget—luxury tourists.
