WHAT TO WEAR WHEN GORILLA TREKKING IN RWANDA?

➡️ Good, waterproof walking shoes or boots are recommended (boots with ankle support are best) as trekking can be challenging at times

➡️ Wear layers, starting with a quick-dry shirt on top, as it can get humid and muggy up in the mountains. A rain jacket or even a plastic poncho is also recommended, as rain comes and goes intermittently – some of the lodges do supply these

➡️ Bright colours and white are not advisable as this will contrast very strongly with the prevailing forest and savannah colours, and could disturb gorillas at sightings. Camouflage clothing is also not recommended for travel in African countries

➡️ Best to wear long, light weight hiking trousers and long sleeved light weight shirts. There are stinging nettles along the route, and you are at times required to trek off track, so shorts are not recommended

➡️ Gators or socks pulled over your trousers are recommended to keep sand and ants out of your boots

➡️ Gloves can be useful as you may have to push long grass out of your path

➡️ Walking sticks or ski poles are good for steeper areas in the hike

➡️ Hat and sunglasses are a must
