Baggage:
As general rule when packing for wilderness expeditions keep personal gear to a minimum. The weight limit on domestic airlines is 20 Kg and only 2 check-in bags and one carry on bag are allowed. Excess baggage will be charged at up to US$ 5 per Kg. Your day pack should be a medium volume without a frame which can hold your personal belonging such as medication, camera, extra clothes, water etc.
Clothing:
Should be lightweight, dry quickly, and provide insulation even when wet. Lightweight long sleeved shirt is useful as sunscreen while
traveling in the wildness. A good quality raincoat and pants are ideal as they will keep you warm and dry in a variety of situations.
Foot ware:
Lightweight hiking boots or good
quality running shoes will be
ideal for the lowland trek. It
is essential your walking boots
be comfortable and broken-in.
Personal items:
Such as flashlight or headlamp with spare batteries, pocketknife, reading and writing material and personal first aid kit would also be essential for your convenience.
Protection against insect
bite:
Most part the area is free from biting insects, but we do encounter them in the low land such as sand flies around the river banks and leaches in the lowland bushes. It's important to use insect repellent to keep the insects away.
