What to Pack for Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp

The most practical items to pack for gorilla trekking adventure are:

• In Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, there are often heavy rain showers, even in the dry season, so a light raincoat will be useful
• Sturdy walking boots with good ankle support and grip are also recommended
• A light shoulder bag or small rucksack to carry your water, raincoat, camera and other essentials
• Strong gloves are of enormous help, as you will be hauling yourself uphill by grabbing the bushes
• During the track, wearing a pair of walking trousers
  or gaiters will prevent cuts and scratches
• Carry a water-proof plastic bag to wrap your camera and film or memory cards in.

For the Camp:

• Evening dress is ‘smart casual’, there is no formal wear required
• We advise guests to dress in a way they feel most comfortable
• The altitude at Bwindi is just over a mile high
• Evenings can get chilly, so it is advisable to carry a sweater. For the daytime, light clothes usually
  suffice.

We offer a complimentary overnight laundry service in Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp.
