If there is anything we need to emphasis a bit more for your lovely guests coming down here is the right preparation for the gorilla trek! What the guest packs has a lot to do with how the overall gorilla experience will turn out. Let’s start with the shoes: nice and comfy and preferably water proof. Gaiters, long soft socks enough to reach just above the ankles.
Long light water proof trousers, a long sleeved soft and light T-shirt and a light rain jacket. Hand gloves: soft but waterproof. Not all sweet smelling insect repellent sprays and creams repel insectsJ, so a neutral smelling repellent is much better.
Do remember about the backpack and finally, please start to exercise your muscles a bit in advance. Most rainy months in Uganda are April and May and then November but it can pour any time of day.
