List of Items required for rafting. PLEASE TRAVEL AS LIGHT AS YOU CAN.

1. At least two extra sets of dry clothes. As it is cold from November through February, a waterproof jacket will be very handy. While trousers, pullovers or jackets are needed for the morning and evening, during the day, shorts and T-shirts will suffice for the month of September, October, March, April and May. As clients will arrive completely soaked on shore at the camp sites, immediate change into a dry set of clothing is necessary. Tracksuits are the most popular item for any rafters.

2. A second pair of tennis shoes or slippers for use around the camp.

3. Protection from the sun such as sunglasses, sunhats, cream and lotions to prevent sunburn and insect repellants during the warmer months.

4. Electric torch lights as the use of candles is not advisable inside the tents.

5. Traveler’s Insurance - do this at home.

PLEASE do not carry unnecessary valuables. “The tariff does not cover insurance of any kind: medical or personal, though explicit care and attention will be rendered at all times.
