We will be trekking through dense jungle in a tropical environment. Remember you are at risk of dehydration and tropical disease. It is imperative that you see a doctor at least 2 weeks prior to departure. They will prescribe anti-malarial medication; some tablets require you to start taking them prior to your trek. Your doctor will also advise on any inoculations that will be required.

I recommend you bring the following in your personal first-aid kit:

• Anti malarial tablets (as prescribed by your doctor)
• Tropical Strength Aero guard or Rid Mosquito repellent (no aerosol cans please)
• Panadol or Aspirin
• One roll of elastoplast
• Band-Aids
• Sun block/lip balm

Upon arrival at Jackson International Airport we will obtain our VISA for entry cost is approx $50AU (subject to change) We will also be able to change our money, it is suggested that you convert $150AU.

TheThe hotel at Port Moresby has the facility to lock up any valuables e.g. passport, wallet. It is recommended that you take a small day pack. Along with your passport, wallet etc you can leave traveling clothes and shoes in storage until our return. Clearly label your pack with your name.

Gifts

If you wish to take something for the children in the villages, they love balloons and illume sticks or even a tennis ball.
