Hi everyone. I'm planning to go in Uganda, Rwanda, tanzania in mid-februrary to end of march. Any suggestions for itinerary? Is it a good time for gorilla watching and chimpanzee encounters? Where should I go in Tanzania for good game viewing? Don't want to climb kili as it's not a good moment to climb it. I'm a 40 year-old man used to travel in Africa (Senegal, Madagascar, South Africa, Morrocco, Egypt).
What are your suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Try Serengeti or Ngorongoro parks in Tz for excellent game viewing:
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive Uganda
Day 2: Drive straight to Bwindi
Day 3: Track Gorillas
Day 4: Rest at Lake Bunyonyi
Day 5: Drive to Rwanda
Day 6: Track Gorillas/golden monkeys
Day 7: Drive to Kigali Airport, fly to Arusha
Day 8: Drive to Serengeti
Day 9-12: Game Drives in serengeti/ngorongoro
Day 13: Return to Arusha
Day 14: Fly home from Kilimanjaro Airport
For not do twice the same path you should do Entebbe Airport -> Lake Bunyonyi -> Bwindi and not the other way round is after you want to go to rwanda.
Another thing, try to book the Gorilla permit first, and then try to think to an itinerary, not always you get the permit on the day you thought.
It is always a good time for gorilla watching. The trackers know where they are, so you will definitely see them.
I climbed Kili in February, no rain. Rainy season is normally at its heaviest in April/May I think, although it may start in March.
If you will visit the mountain gorillas and the Serengeti, you will have a marvellous holiday and brilliant memories for the rest of your life.
Feb and March are good months for Gorilla tracking and chimpanzee encounters. In Tanzania, you can go to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro and may be Tarangire for good game viewing safaris.
