Best Time to Go for Chimpanzee Tracking in East Africa

The Best time to transfer to Uganda, Rwanda for amazing Chimpanzee tracking safari adventure is during the dry months of June to September as well as December to February since during this season the trails are drier and navigable making the whole process of searching for these primates easier.

It’s challenging to track the chimpanzees during the rainy season in the months of March to May as well as September to November since during these months the trails are slippery and hard to navigate on and the chimpanzees are fond of being up in the trees making photography challenging.
