The long dry season (June to September) offers the best conditions for mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. Trails are drier, visibility is higher, and encounters are truly magical during this time.
While Nyungwe can be visited year-round, lush vegetation and vibrant bird activity make the rainy months ideal for botanists and birders. Expect misty magic, waterfall hikes, and the best primates-in-the-canopy moments during the short and long rains.
The dry season brings classic East African safari conditions to Rwanda’s savannah jewel. Wildlife gathers at lakes and waterholes, making for excellent game viewing — including Akagera’s Big Five.
Clear skies and abundant wildlife make this stretch ideal for families and those celebrating special occasions. With school holidays and festive events, Kenya comes alive with joy and activity.
Key Highlights:
High wildlife visibility in major parks
Excellent for family-friendly safaris and group travel
Great for milestone celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries, New Year)
Book early, as this is also a popular time for locals and international travelers seeking a warm, luxurious holiday experience.
