Health Rules

Visitors should wear appropriate clothing since it is often cool there, a jacket might be helpful, a light backpack where you can put your packed lunch, proper boots to support your ankles and legs as well.

Tourists have to be in proper health and must have no communicable diseases or cold or flu. If you need to cough, sneeze, blow your nose, move your head away from the gorilla in order to keep the risk of infection to a minimum.

The tourist going for Rwanda gorilla trekking safaris must be at least 15 years of age. It is healthy to always wash your hands before you head out to the mountain gorillas.

No smoking, eating of food or drinking of beverages is allowed in the presence of the Mountain Gorillas.

In case you are feeling sick, or suffering from a contagious disease, please remain behind. An alternative visit will be organized for you or be refunded the money.

In case you feel the urge to sneeze or even cough when close to the gorillas, please turn your head away from them and cap your nose plus mouth so as to reduce the spread of viruses or even bacteria.

Do not leave any rubbish for example food wrappers in the park and other foreign items because they can harbor diseases or other contaminants.
