The best times to explore Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve are the two Dry seasons and the months that immediately follow them, from December to March and June to August. During the height of the Wet season, in the months from April to May and September to November, the terrain can become very muddy and vehicles can easily get stuck. So at this time of year may be restricted to the main road through the reserve. This can still be rewarding but limits what you can see.
