Hiring a Porter during Gorilla Trekking

You will be given the option to hire porters to assist with your luggage and additional equipment so that you can have the greatest gorilla viewing experience possible. Gorilla tracking is searching for a gorilla group while traversing steep slopes and occasionally muddy terrain.

Porters can assist you with carrying your bags, snacks, cameras, and other bulky items you want to bring along because they are experienced and familiar with the area. One excellent method to support the local population and make sure they gain from mountain gorilla conservation initiatives is to use porters on gorilla trip

Since many of the park guides and porters were once poachers, the chance to make money as guides and porters maintains.  The porters, their families, and the surrounding community as a whole will all benefit from your assistance. Porters range in price from $10 to $15 USD.

Although it’s not required, tipping the wardens and guides can improve your experience. If you are a second-day tracker, they can go above and above to offer you a special gift and exhibit or share items with you that weren’t planned.
