Packing for Gorilla Tracking
Good waterproof walking Boots. Light waterproof trousers and jacket, tuck trousers into boots.Gloves are a good idea to protect hands from sharp branches or stinging plants and the damp Yellow Fever jab compulsoryAntihistamine for stingsAntiseptic for scratchesWet wipes for freshening You can't use a flash so slow film or digital camera that has slow speed facility. And a really good zoom lense in case you can't get very close or if the gorillas are up in the trees.Binoculars to get a better view. The vegetation is very thick and damp, and you will sometimes be crawling or holding on to it.As a female with a dislike of creepy crawlies I made sure I was completely covered and that nothing could get inside my clothes. There are also some plants that are not good to touch.
