Rwanda in September

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Rwanda in September

Forest trails remain accessible for gorilla trekking at this time of year, providing an enjoyable experience for visitors. The likelihood of sunshine increases, contributing to pleasant conditions for both chimpanzee and gorilla trekking.

With three months of dry weather behind us, trekkers can expect an unobstructed experience, as recent rainfall has not hindered them.

Nyungwe National Park is a notable destination to consider visiting this month. While the park does not have large animals or significant wildlife, it is renowned for its primate populations, particularly the L’Hoest’s monkey, which is a highlight for nature enthusiasts.

Prepare for an absolutely thrilling birding and trekking experience.

Weather in September

Rainfall increases this month, but Nyungwe National Park experiences the dry season at this time of year, so trekking and birding are great activity options if you’re taking a holiday in September.
