Luxury lodges and hotels provide bottled or filtered water, and most include complimentary bottled water in rooms. Confirm that ice served in drinks is made from purified water, though reputable establishments use safe water for ice production.
For brushing teeth, bottled water is recommended as a precaution. When dining, stick to reputable restaurants that maintain proper hygiene standards.
Staying well-hydrated is important, particularly at high altitudes and during physical activities like gorilla trekking. Carry water with you during excursions, and your guides will typically ensure water is available during activities.
