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.

use of candles is not advisable inside the
tents.
