If you want to get the best views, I recommend catching the sunrise around 6 AM... The water is super calm and the mist covering the lake is just magical... Don't miss your camera

Make sure to bring cash for park fees and tips, as some places don’t accept cards. I was caught off guard when I needed to pay for my guide and had no cash on me. A bit stressful!

White Sands Beach

If you want the best sunset photos head to the beach around 5:30 PM. The light is magical and the crowds are smaller. Trust me you won't regret it!

If you're planning to hire porters, do it directly rather than through agencies. You’ll save some cash and connect much better with the locals—plus, they know the best shortcuts and spots!
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
3.1
My advice is to pack light for the trek. Trust me, you don’t want to lug around a heavy bag on a 3-4 hour hike! A small backpack with some water and snacks will do.
Consider hiring a local guide. They know the area really well and can point out wildlife you might miss otherwise. Plus, it feels good to support the local community!
I suggest booking your gorilla permits in advance, like a few months ahead, because they can sell out fast, especially in peak season. I waited too long and it was a stressful last-minute scramble!
I think it’s best to stay a couple of days. One day felt too rushed, and I missed some amazing sights. Take your time to soak it all in and maybe try a few trails!

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

Bring cash for tips and snacks, since some places in the park don’t accept card payments. I wish I had packed more snacks for our long trek; it helped to have something to nibble on!
