What do you need for Trekking or Tracking Gorillas Chimpanzees and Golden Monkeys?
What do you need for Trekking or Tracking Gorillas Chimpanzees and Golden Monkeys; Just got back from Uganda trekking for chimps, gorillas, and golden monkeys in Uganda Africa.
(in the photo here I am laying approximately 9 ft. from this adorable chimp who simply got tired of me taking photos and laid down to catch a nap) and thought it would be helpful if you are thinking of doing such a dream come true adventure you would appreciate knowing…
What do I need for Trekking or Tracking Gorillas Chimpanzees and Golden Monkeys?
WATER
Gorilla trekking can be very tiresome and you need to refill yourself as the trek goes on. It is advisable to take a few water salts or chews before you go on a trek.
BOOTS
You will need good waterproof comfortable shoes or boots. Sometimes it rains during the trek, so skidproof shoes can come in handy.
RAINJACKET
You are advised to carry a rain jacket because it rains frequently in Bwindi’s Impenetrable forest.
SNACK
You can carry a light snack to give you some energy during the walk in the forest.
TROUSERS AND SHIRTS
Bwindi Forest, for example, is covered with thick undergrowth, therefore light trousers and long-sleeved shirts are advised.
SOCKS
You will have to tuck your trousers into your socks to avoid insects from crawling inside particularly safari ants.
