Rwanda in November

Rwanda is such a fantastic destination to visit any time of the year! It’s especially famous for its breathtaking landscapes and amazing opportunities for gorilla trekking.

If you’re planning to go trekking, just keep in mind that you need to be at least 15 years old to participate. While you can trek throughout the year, many people find that the dry season is the best time to visit, as the wet weather can make hiking a bit tricky in the forest.

And here’s a fun fact: during the dry season, which overlaps with the wet months, Volcanoes National Park becomes a top spot for bird watching! You’ll get to see some incredible bird species, such as the baglafecht weaver, black-crowned waxbill, common stonechat, Ruwenzori double-collared sunbird, and Ruwenzori turaco.

With the wet season in full swing, gorilla permits are much easier to get. Although forest trails will be challenging this time of year, seeing gorillas won’t be a problem.
