For river and water based activities you should bring a pair of water shoes, or sports sandals (Teva, Reef, Keen etc) with an ankle strap, or a pair of trainers/sneakers. We do not take anyone out on the river without adequate footwear. Flips flops/slippers are not adequate footwear on any of our activities, but are great for relaxing at camp.
A flashlight or head torch
Insect repellent
For the river we suggest wearing quick dry shorts and t-shirts – since we are located in a
village please do not wear overly revealing clothes on activities
Sunblock
Waterproof camera – even waterproof cameras can get damaged, so we recommend you purchase one of our dry bags or pouches for extra protection
For those who wear glasses a glasses strap is a good idea
Hat with a visor for sun protection
Several plastic bags to keep wet clothes separate in luggage
