These two national parks are found in the tropics are covered by tropical rain forests that receive uncertain rainfall any time of the day or week. Though they are tropical rain forests known for receiving rainfall still there are good months of the year that are regarded as the best time for visiting these parks. The best time to visit Congo for Gorilla trekking is during the dry season which comes from December to February then from June to September. it is easy to sight gorillas during these months because the vegetation is less thick and as compared to the wet months of March to May and then October to November.

The gorilla trekking safaris in Congo are only done in Virunga National Park. That is found in the Eastern Part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Visitors will need to fly and land at Kigali international airport and then link to Gisenyi town. From Kisenyi Town, you will then enter Congo through Gisenyi Rwanda Congo Boarder. The district at the border is called Goma in Congo and from here you will continue driving to Bukima and from here you will get to the Virunga National Park headquarters where the activity of gorilla trekking starts from. From Gisheyi town you will drive for just two hours to access the park headquarters.
As earlier said, the democratic republic of Congo provides normal and discounted gorilla trekking permits yearly for visitors interested in carrying out mountain gorilla trekking. The question of when to choose the Congo mountain gorilla safari from Kigali will depend on your travel budget. However, the fact that gorilla trekking permits are cheaper and tend to sell out fast it is important that you book in advance 3 or 4 months before your planned dates of travel. You need to contact Africa Adventure vacations fast enough so that we can check the availability of the permits in Virunga, you pay and then we book them for you basing on your intended dates of travel and then we get back to you in time.
