Permits for gorilla trekking are scarce during the peak seasons, hence it is recommended you book your trip with a reliable and trustworthy local tour operator at least a year in advance. For visitors interested in Christian religious tourism, you may visit during late May so that you can catch and experience the Uganda Martyrs Day commemoration on June 3<sup>rd<\/sup> of every year, held at the Namugongo Martyrs Shrines. <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e43809 wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2e43809\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\n&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Songti SC&quot;;mso-ansi-language:\nEN-GB;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN;mso-bidi-language:HI\">However, if you would like a less crowded and exclusive gorilla trekking experience, it\u2019s recommended to visit East Africa during off-peak seasons i.e., April to May and October to November. If you schedule your visit around October to November, you will have a chance to witness the popular Nyege Nyege music festival held every year at the source of the Nile in Jinja Tourism City.<\/span><\/span><br><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When to visit East AfricaWhile suitable for a visit throughout the year, the best time to visit East Africa for leisure and wildlife viewing is June to August and December to February of every year.
