In Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which covers an area of 321 sq km and is among the oldest forests at 25,000 years old, experience the amazing adventure of trekking to find one of the 12 habituated mountain gorilla groups. You will also have an opportunity to see other primates such as red-tailed monkeys, chimpanzees, baboons, black and white colobus monkeys among others. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to 120 mammals, 51 reptiles, 310 butterfly species, 27 species of frogs, geckos, chameleons, 163 tree species, 104 fern species, 1,000 flowering plants, as well as over 350 species of birds such as the hornbills and the turaco.
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.
Boots: You will need good waterproof and 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’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.
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 and leaves, which can be thorny.
Camera: Carry a good camera (no flash) to capture this lifetime experience.
