Gorilla trekking is a profound wildlife experience. Here is your ultimate guide to preparing for Rwanda:
When to Go
The best time for gorilla trekking is during the dry seasons: mid-December to early February, and June to September.
What to Pack
Bring sturdy hiking boots, long trousers, gardening gloves (for grabbing thorny branches), and a waterproof jacket.
The Experience
The trek can take anywhere from 1 to 5 hours. Once you find the family, you get to spend one magical hour observing these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
