When to go
Rushaga is accessible year-round, but the experience changes with the seasons. The drier months from June to August and December to February make trekking easier and more comfortable due to firmer trails and lower chances of rain. The wet seasons, from March to May and September to November, bring lush greenery and fewer tourists, though trekking conditions can be more challenging.

What to expect
Travelers to Rushaga can expect an unforgettable encounter with mountain gorillas, often considered one of the most moving wildlife experiences on the continent. The treks vary in difficulty, with some gorilla families located closer to the trailheads and others deeper in the forest. Besides gorilla trekking, the area offers community visits, forest walks, and birdwatching. The experience here is more intimate compared to busier sectors like Buhoma, and accommodations range from budget lodges to luxury forest retreats.
