The gorilla habituation experience in Bwindi is more challenging than standard gorilla trekking. It involves hiking through thick forest and uneven terrain, starting early morning and ending late afternoon. You need to be reasonably fit, and Adventure Volunteers recommends hiring a porter for support. If unsure of your fitness, prepare with regular walks or light hikes.
This safari can also start from Kigali (4 hours by road) instead of Kampala/Entebbe. For a fuller Ugandan experience, you may combine gorilla habituation with golden monkey trekking, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, or a game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Packing Essentials
Bring: long trousers, rain jacket, hiking boots, gloves, hat, backpack with water and packed lunch, walking stick, camera, and binoculars.
With good preparation, Adventure Volunteers ensures you enjoy an unforgettable encounter with mountain gorillas in their natural home.
