Introduction<\/h2>\n

Trekking through the dense, misty forests of Bwindi or Mgahinga to sit with a family of mountain gorillas is a bucket-list experience. But because it\u2019s a physical and remote adventure, being prepared is the difference between a tough day and a life-changing one. Here is our expert guide to making the most of your trek.<\/p>\n<\/span>\n

The Tips (Summary):<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Book your permits early:<\/strong> They sell out months in advance, especially for peak seasons.<\/li>\n
  2. Train for the hike:<\/strong> The terrain can be steep and muddy; a little cardio goes a long way.<\/li>\n
  3. Pack gardening gloves:<\/strong> Sounds odd, but you’ll use them to grab branches for balance.<\/li>\n
  4. Hire a porter:<\/strong> It supports the local economy and makes the trek much easier for you.<\/li>\n
  5. Waterproof everything:<\/strong> Even in the “dry” season, the rainforest lives up to its name.<\/li>\n
  6. Stay quiet and calm:<\/strong> When you find the gorillas, keep your voice low to ensure they stay relaxed.<\/li>\n
  7. No flash photography:<\/strong> It\u2019s strictly prohibited as it can agitate the silverback.<\/li>\n
  8. Tuck your trousers into your socks:<\/strong> This keeps safari ants from crawling up your legs!<\/li>\n
  9. Bring a packed lunch:<\/strong> You never know if your trek will take two hours or six.<\/li>\n
  10. Respect the distance:<\/strong> Staying 7-10 meters away protects the gorillas from human illnesses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Eine wunderbare Gelassenheit hat von meiner ganzen Seele Besitz ergriffen, wie diese s\u00fc\u00dfen Fr\u00fchlingsmorgen, die ich mit ganzem Herzen genie\u00dfe. Ich bin allein und f\u00fchle den Zauber des Daseins an diesem Ort, der f\u00fcr die Gl\u00fcckseligkeit von Seelen wie der meinen geschaffen wurde. Ich bin so gl\u00fccklich, mein lieber Freund, so vertieft in den exquisiten Sinn des reinen, ruhigen Daseins, dass ich meine Talente vernachl\u00e4ssige. In diesem Augenblick w\u00e4re ich unf\u00e4hig, auch nur einen einzigen Strich zu zeichnen; und doch f\u00fchle ich, dass ich nie ein gr\u00f6\u00dferer K\u00fcnstler war als jetzt. Wenn das liebliche Tal um mich herum von Dunst wimmelt und die Mittagssonne die Oberseite des undurchdringlichen Laubes meiner B\u00e4ume streift und nur ein paar verirrte Strahlen sich in das innere Heiligtum stehlen, werfe ich mich zwischen das hohe Gras am tr\u00f6pfelnden Bach; und w\u00e4hrend ich dicht an der Erde liege, fallen mir tausend unbekannte Pflanzen auf: Wenn ich das Summen der kleinen Welt zwischen den Halmen h\u00f6re und mit den zahllosen unbeschreiblichen Formen der Insekten und Fliegen vertraut werde, dann sp\u00fcre ich die Gegenwart des Allm\u00e4chtigen, der uns nach seinem Ebenbild geformt hat, und den Hauch jener universellen Liebe, die uns tr\u00e4gt und erh\u00e4lt, w\u00e4hrend sie in einer Ewigkeit des Glanzes um uns schwebt.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":227,"featured_media":6659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-attractions","category-news","category-safaris"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gorilla-in-Bwindi-HD-photo_2.jpg?fit=1800%2C1200&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/227"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1314"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7906,"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1314\/revisions\/7906"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jumanjiafricasafaris.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
