Safari summary

Chimpanzee trekking is possible year-round. However, the dry season (July to October) is often preferred. During this time, the chimps tend to stay in the lower slopes of the valleys, making them generally easier and quicker to locate. The forest trails are also less muddy and slippery. The wet season (November to May) offers lush, green landscapes and excellent birdwatching, but chimps might range more widely, and treks can be more physically demanding.
