Photographers get more out of a gorilla trip with a few specific adjustments to the standard itinerary.
Consider the Habituation Experience
Four hours instead of one gives dramatically more opportunity for the right shot, at 1,500 US dollars in Rushaga sector.
Pack for Low Light
Bwindi’s canopy is dense; a fast lens and comfort shooting at higher ISO matter more than a long telephoto.
Flash Is Prohibited
No flash photography is permitted near the gorillas, in any country.
Best Season for Photography
The rainy season’s lush green forest photographs beautifully, despite muddier trekking conditions.
