Packing for a gorilla trekking and wildlife safaris in Uganda requires careful consideration to ensure comfort and preparedness. Essential items include sturdy hiking boots for navigating the rugged terrain and waterproof clothing to stay dry during unexpected rain showers. Insect repellent and sunscreen are vital for protection against bugs and the sun. A hat, lightweight gloves, and long-sleeved shirts and pants help guard against insects and thorny vegetation.

A small backpack is useful for carrying daily necessities such as water, snacks, and a first aid kit. Don’t forget a high-quality camera with extra batteries to capture the breathtaking moments with wildlife, and binoculars for spotting distant animals. Finally, packing a reusable water bottle and a good pair of trekking poles can enhance your trekking experience, providing hydration and support on steep paths.
