Gorilla trekking in Bwindi is one of the most memorable things to do in Uganda.
A little planning goes a long way. Here is what to think about before you book.
Gorilla permits are issued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and are limited, so it is wise to book well ahead of your travel dates.
What to pack:
- Sturdy, waterproof walking boots.
- Long trousers and long sleeves.
- A light rain jacket.
- Gloves for grabbing vegetation.
- Water and snacks for the trek.
- A small daypack.
Treks can be steep and muddy and last from one hour to several hours. You need a reasonable level of fitness, and visitors must meet the park's minimum age, so check the current rules before you book.
