What You Need on the 6 Days Uganda Gorilla Safari & Jinja City Tour

Just like Rwenzori Mountain hiking, Gorilla trekking also requires specialized items when trekking the gorillas for effective and swift movements;

Water:

Gorilla trekking can be very tedious and you need to refill your “tank” as the trek goes on. It is advisable to park a few water filtration 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 as they will bring about a good deal of fulfillment.

Rain Jacket:

You are advised to carry 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. This is to protect you from bruises and scratches from the undergrowth!

Socks:

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

Gloves:

You will need Garden gloves because you will be grabbing tree branches, leaves etc. and some can be thorny. Therefore, these gloves will do you a great deal to protect you from harm and body injuries!

Camera:

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