Isiro

Dry Season (June to September):

• This period is generally considered the best time to visit the Congo Basin due to lower rainfall and more accessible conditions.
• Wildlife viewing and trekking in national parks like Virunga might be more favorable as animals tend to concentrate around water sources during this drier period.
• Conditions for hiking and exploring can be more manageable with reduced rainfall, making it easier to navigate trails.

Shoulder Seasons (October to November, April to May):

• These months mark the transitional periods between the wet and dry seasons.
• While there might be some rainfall, these shoulder seasons can still offer good opportunities for travel, wildlife viewing, and outdoor activities.
• The landscapes can be lush and vibrant during these times.

Wet Season (December to March):

• This period experiences heavier rainfall, leading to challenging travel conditions, muddy trails, and swollen rivers.
• Wildlife might be harder to spot as animals disperse across larger areas with abundant water sources.
• However, the wet season also brings out the beauty of the rainforest with lush vegetation and vibrant colors.
