11 Days Uganda Tour – GORILLA TREKKING TIPS

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Mountain gorillas sometimes nest far from the start of your gorilla trek; you should pace yourself and drink plenty of water.

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Eating, drinking and smoking near the gorillas is forbidden – designated time and place will be communicated.

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Bwindi being a tropical forest, it can rain anytime so we encourage you to carry a rain poncho

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Waterproof walking shoes or hiking boots are essential.

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Gardening gloves for protection against stinging plants

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Long trousers and long sleeved sweaters or shirts while in the forest to avoid insect stings.

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Photography is permitted, although you must not use flash

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Porters are available to help you carry your day pack for a small charge

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] As you prepare to come for your Uganda gorilla adventure, please do some exercises so that you prepare your body for gorilla trekking which can last between 3-8 hours

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] In case you can’t walk for a very long time, you shouldn’t really worry about not being able to do gorilla trekking because there are potters who can carry you throughout at a small extra cost.

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Carry your sunscreen lotion to keep your skin safe from the tropical heat & sun rays

[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] When you get to the gorillas, don’t make noise because this agitates the gorillas
