recommended to take a medical box and stick with you.
5.
Keep a Distance From Gorilla
You
are already aware of so many things about Uganda Gorilla trekking. Gorillas are nice but
they can get furious sometime so it is always better to keep a gap of about
seven meters away from them. They are also very receptive to human infectious
diseases. Do not move in case the gorilla charges and also never make direct
eye contact with them.
6.
Avoid Using Flashlights
This
may be your first-time and you want to take pictures of gorillas. Snap photos
as much you want, but remember that you take photos without using the
flashlight. You are not allowed to take pictures using a flashlight as it can
frustrate gorillas.
7.
Manage Time Wisely
Time
is everything. Every moment is precious so make sure you don't waste any as you
will not be given more than sixty minutes for gorilla trekking. Plan beforehand
how to manage your time so that you can have an enchanting encounter with
gorillas.
8.
Add More Uganda Attractions
You
can also add exciting attractions including game viewing, safaris in the
savanna national parks, mountaineering, chimpanzee tracking, sport fishing,
bird watching and so much more.
