Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Reviewed By BhattiSherry - Jinja, Uganda

The gorilla trek (and TRACK also- since we were actually being guided by the scouts who were tracking the family in real time!) was a totally awesome experience which is unique to this part of the world! The trek involves steep ascents/descents and demands good physical fitness. The one hour stay with the gorilla family is memorable and is a lifetime experience. Some tips:- 1. Wear good trekking shoes which are ankle high. If not available, ask your lodge in advance to arrange for gumboots from the UWA rangers at $10 per pair. Absolutely necessary, do not try to trek in sneakers/normal shoes. 2. Carry 2 litres water per person. If the sun is shining, it can cause dehydration fast. 3. Hiring a porter is useful particularly if you are not at the top of your fitness or are middle aged. He carries the backpack too. Cost is $15 but most trekkers pay more because of the superb assistance. 4. A rain jacket is necessary, it can rain anytime. 5. Nkuringo sector is the toughest trek but the most rewarding. Buhoma and Rushaga are comparatively easier. 6. It may take as long as 6-7 hours before return, so carry energy bars as well as the packed lunch provided by the lodge.
