Best time to visit Rwanda

Rwanda is open for tourism throughout the year, though the best time to visit Rwanda would be June to August and December to February as records show less rainfall relating to March to May and September to November whose records indicate too much rainfall. It is challenging for clients to track in the rainy season and this might result in poor photography.

However, Gorilla tracking is better in the dry season but keep in mind that rains in Rwanda do not usually last for long hours of the day. “Rwanda Gorilla Photography Safari Experience.”
