DOs AND DON’Ts DURING GORILLA TRACKING

Water: Gorilla trekking can be very tiresome and you need to refill your tank as the trek goes on. It is advisable to park a few water filtrations tablets before you come for the trek.

Boots: You will need good waterproof comfortable shoes. Sometimes it rains during the trek, so skid-proof shoes can come in handy.

Rain Jacket: You are advised to carry a rain jacket because it rains very often in Bwindi Impenetrable forest.

Snack: You can carry a light snack to give you some energy during the walk in the forest.

Trouser and Shirts - Bwindi forest is covered with thick undergrowth, therefore light trousers and long-sleeved shirts are advised.

Socks: You will have to tuck the trousers into the socks to avoid insects crawling inside.

Gloves: You will need Gardening gloves because you will be grabbing tree branches, leaves, name it, and some can be thorny.

Camera: Carry a good camera (no flash ) to capture this lifetime experience
