Clothing, safari and equipment

Light clothing is generally recommended for sunny weather which occurs almost throughout the year. However, you will need warm clothing for some fairly cold days during rainy seasons (March – May and September – November), or in the evenings or early mornings.

If you plan to go for gorilla trekking, you will need a rain jacket, stockings, jeans/long pants, long-sleeved shirt, a mask, and hiking shoes. You should consider packing swimwear if you plan to go swimming.
