Recommended Packing List:

 

Gorilla Tracking in Uganda and Rwanda, Borneo and Madagascar Wildlife Holidays, Lowland Gorillas in Congo, CAR and Gabon and migration safaris in Tanzania...

 

World Primates recommends that you dress modestly whenever travelling abroad; it is always better to blend in with the local population rather than sticking out like a saw thumb both for safety reasons and also so that you can truly appreciate the people and culture that you are part of during your journey.

 

Travellers may have their own preferences but please bear in mind our suggestions below:

 

  •  2 –3 pairs of light weight slacks/trousers – that can dry quickly (if wearing on  treks)
