Q. Do you provide your trek leaders with satellite phones and/or other reliable contact with your base?
A. We have used satellite phones in the past and found them to be unreliable due to the terrain. We carry a track radio and are in constant communication with our base in Port Moresby. We also use the track radio to check in with the Kokoda Track Authority that administers all the trekking across the track. In addition to this we also carry a PNG mobile phone.

Q. What types of meals are supplied on the Track?
