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.
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.
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.
