Clothing:
Clothing should be as comfortable as possible. Mornings and evenings can be cold so good jackets will be needed.
Make sure you have a comfortable pair of boots with ankle support. A second pair of boots is always useful in case you happen to get your one pair of boots wet.
Layered clothing is always a good idea as the mornings and evenings can be cool while the middle of the day gets warm.
We recommend:
⦁ Comfortable walking/hunting boots with ankle supports
⦁ Fleece vest or sweater (make sure it’s warm for winter months)
⦁ Sleeping lounging around camp attire
⦁ Casual shoes
⦁ Hat/Cap
⦁ Leather gloves

Medications & Immunizations Requirements
You will be hunting in a malaria free area and malaria medication is not required. I would recommend you update your tetanus inoculation if necessary and any other routine vaccinations you may need. We can help you with this.
