Two pairs of long jeans
Waterproof hiking shoes
Though this is optional, a hat and sunglasses are recommended based on the temperature.
Long-lasting batteries and cameras, as well as keeping your memories alive depends much on photography. Remember always to keep your flash off.
Binoculars, two pairs. This will enable you to witness, among other monkeys,s the great birds found in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Gardening gloves will come in handy while you are clinging to trees and branches throughout the walk.
A raincoat; as Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a rainforest, the rain is erratic, thus to be on a safer side, you will need to bring along a coat.
A mosquito Repellent; as it is a forest, it contains various deadly insects, therefore it is necessary to bring it along or wear it.
Well, this is optional, but depending on the season, it might become too hot, and you end up having sunburns on your skin, so you will need sunscreen to prevent that.
You should avoid really vivid colors as they will frighten away or attack the gorillas.
Additionally, advised against black and blue hues, which are those that attract Tsetse flies. I would thus advise neutral hues.

Although Rushaga in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is available for year-round hiking, it is also noteworthy because the forest is a tropical rainforest and may have rain at any moment. Since the forest is less slippery and the ideal months to monitor gorillas are June through August and December through February, with the lowest rainfall. Conversely, if you find yourself traveling in March through May and November, there may be more rain; hence, certain hotels may be able to provide discounts for your lodging.
