September concludes the second dry season that sets off from June after ushering in a wet season making it a perfect month to pursue gorilla trekking ventures.

Gorilla trekking is a major activity that has attracted tourists from far and wide especially in the countries that hosts the gorillas in their natural habitats such as the northern circuit of Rwanda that falls under the virunga conservation area which is simply a continuum of the virunga mountains that originate from Virunga national park in Democratic republic of Congo.These mountains have shaped Rwanda into a land of a thousand hills that not only harbours mountain gorillas but also carnivorous , mammals , reptiles , birds , vegetation to mention but a few. Gorillas can be gazed at from protected areas like virunga national park in Democratic of Congo , Bwindi impenetrable national park and Mgahinga national park in Uganda ,  lastly Volcano national park in Rwanda  and outside Africa most of these species are kept in zoos due to lack of natural habitats for these species.Once on your safari you are advised to break down your cash into small amounts for purposes of tipping or even purchase some souvenirs , use banks to avoid incurring extra charges but above all be careful while in a crowd as not everyone is your friend. Follow every guideline that your tour operator gives you for a safe stay and make sure you get a local guide who will help you with translation where need arises , respect everyone especially their privacy. Internet connection in Africa may be poor in remote areas and the only way to overcome this challenge is through buying SIM cards such as MTN or Airtel where you can buy data bundles with the help of the tour guide , you can also hotspot from your guide’s phone if everything fails. Book accommodations near urban centers if at all you may desire to connect with the people at home or simply share your updates , in some lodges the wifi is free of charge though it may be unstable due to many users.

Fuel up your joy during gorilla trekking in the month of September.
