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

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