Put on your easy hiking shoes, thick trousers, and a long sleeved top to avoid vicious stinging nettles. It’s regularly cold when you set out, so start off with a sweatshirt or jersey (it can also help in protecting you from nestles). The gorillas are completely used to people, so it has little effect on whether you wear bright or shouting colors.

Whatever clothes you wear when going for gorilla trekking are prone to get extremely dirty as you slip and slither in the mud, so in case you have pre-muddied clothes, you should wear them. When you are getting hand loads of prickly vegetation, a pair of old gardening gloves are useful. In the event that you feel safer with a walking stick, you will be offered a wooden one toward the start of the ascent.

Carry as little as possible, ideally in a waterproof sack or the like. Amid the rainy season, a poncho or raincoat may be a worthy addition to your daypack, while shades and a cap are a good idea at any season of the year. You may well feel like a nibble during the long hike, and your advice to carry enough snacks and drinking water – at least one liter, more to visit the Susa Gorilla Group. Bottled drinking water is sold in Ruhengeri town. Particularly during the rainy season, ensure your camera gear is well protected – if your back isn’t waterproof, seal your camera gear in a plastic bag.

Binoculars are not important in gorilla tracking. In theory, birdwatchers need to carry binoculars, however, in practice, only the dedicated are prone to make use of them – the trek up to the gorillas is always very directed and strolling up the steep slopes and through the thick vegetation tends to occupy one’s eyes and mind.

On the off chance that you are conveying much rigging and sustenance/water, it is fitting to contract one of the watchmen who hang about at the auto park in the trust of work. This costs Rfr5,000 per watchman. Local people have requested that we emphasize that it is not demeaning or exploitative to hire a porter to convey your daypack; in actuality, sightseers who refuse a porter for ‘ethical reasons’ are essentially denying income to poor local people and making it harder for them to gain any advantage from tourism.

You might need to show your passport or some other form of identification when you check in; get some answers concerning this from ORTPN heretofore.
