As er execute these special tour packages for the elderly and people with disabilities, of course, there are a few challenges here and there Some of the challenges we have encountered include people with total physical body weakness, hearing and seeing problems, vulnerability loneliness among many other challenges.

We always ask our elderly and people with disabilities clients to tell us about their medical/health conditions so that we can plan accordingly we can give them require special attention they may need.

Top 7 gorilla tracking tips for the Elderly and people with disabilities?

Below are the top 7 gorilla tracking tips for the elderly and other people with different disabilities.

  1. Hiring Porters

For both the elderly and other people with different disabilities that wish to participate in mountain gorilla tracking, porters are very essential on the day of tracking because a porter is the one who will carry you with the help of a sedan chair to the gorillas and back, porters also will carry your packed lunch, all necessities/items that you will need while tracking and drinking water among others so porter must be on the top of the list in order for you to enjoy this lifetime activity.

  1. Hiring Sedan Chair

The sedan chair is second on the list because this is only means for all travelers who cannot walk in the thick forest in search of mountain gorillas, it’s the simplest way to trek gorillas, and the cost of hiring both sedan chair and porters is between $400 to $500, take note the cost of hiring porters and sedan chair is not included on gorilla permit fee.

The type of sedan chairs we use are comfortable enough for the whole activity to avoid complaints of back pain and the porters are well experience in this activity and strong enough to keep going in the exchanging forest.

  1. Getting for you easy gorilla families to trek?

It is our job to make sure at the time of allocating gorilla families that get you an easy and short gorilla trek at a family that is in the low altitude to make it little easy for you, so it is recommended to book early enough to help plan your trip accordingly.Rwanda gorilla trekking packages for the Elderly and people with disabilities

The elderly and people with disabilities are always assigned to the gorilla families that are near and easy to trek, however, it is advised to book early enough to avoid disappointment.

  1. Declare Medical/Health Condition to the Tour Operator

When you declare your health condition to the tour operator that is organizing your safari it helps in planning and when booking different service providers just to make sure that everything is in place, and we promise that all the personal information you give us is confidential and highly protected.

  1. Physical Exercise or Working out?

For those who can, it is always recommended to take some time off and do some physical exercise before you go for gorilla tracking so that your body is familiarized. We know most elderly and some people with disabilities it not easy for them to do physical exercise but to those who can, we advise you to do some walking or jogging before traveling.

  1. Walking Stick

It’s nice to carry a walking stick with you because gorilla tracking is at a high altitude and you have to hike up and down so a walking stick might be able to support you stand upright while in the forest in forests tracking mountain gorillas.

  1. Carry enough food and drinking water?

Packed lunch and drink water will be carried by your porters so you don’t worry about the weight we recommend that you carry enough packed lunch, the same snacks, and drinking water because mountain gorilla tracking tends to drain people which is why we advise you carry enough food and drinking water.
