April-Mid-May

This is the country’s long rainy season,and it may be unrelenting particularly in the mountainous regions.Tracking in the gorilla is less suited to this period.However,when looking forward to tracking the chimpanzees in Nyungwe Forest area,this may prove to be the ideal time since the fruits and figs found here ripen and the chimpanzees will come lower down the trees to eat.They will be more stationary and likely to be seen in larger groups.
