Suggested Items to Bring 
Although equipment needs will vary depending on type of trek, itinerary, season, and other considerations, certain items are useful for all adventure travel. It is recommended that you pack as light as possible and leave all superfluous items at home. Expensive jewelry, easily damaged electronic equipment or any other item that you feel you cannot live without, should be left at home. If itinerary includes climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro (or other other high elevation peaks) or other adventure activities additional gear will be required. A final packing list, based on itinerary, will be sent to each trekker at least one month prior to departure.

Insurance. Due to inherent dangers of adventure travel, remoteness of some destinations and lack of medical facilities and or supplies in certain areas serious injuries may require medical evacuation via airplane or other rapid means of transport.

Clothing. Clothing needs will vary based trip itinerary, seasonal weather patterns and elevation. Light weight, quick drying clothing that can be layered is best. Some trips will require carrying minimal clothing and gear thus necessitating the need to wash while on trek. Both male and female trekkers will be advised to wear long pants on many treks and tours due to weather condition, cultural sensitivities or other nuances of the journey. Our goal is not to look like insensitive tourist but rather informed visitors who came to learn about and experience another culture. Short are acceptable while on strenuous outdoor adventures such as biking or canoeing. Tank tops are also not recommended for some situations.

Water bottle. Leak proof. Many of the adventure treks will require filling up on water whenever possible as bottled or other sources of potable water will not always be an available. Nalgene (or similar) 1-liter, wide-mouth,  plastic water bottles with attached lids are ideal.

Flashlight. Some areas visited may not have electricity,  thus a small, quality torch/flashlight will be useful. Extra batteries and bulbs should also be packed as they may not be available in-country. 

Daypack. Many treks will require the use of a smaller daypack as opposed to larger pieces of luggage such as backpacks, duffle bags and suitcases. Often only the bare essentials will be able to be carried. Larger luggage will have to be stored (arranged by adventurECO) and picked up upon return. An example of this would be mountain bike treks. Only items that can be carried in panniers or small backpack are suitable for such treks. We recommend a 2200-3000 cubic inch daypack. 

Windbreaker/light jacket. Although East africa lies within the tropics, temperatures in certain regions can require a light jacket for comfort. Garment should be light weight, layerable, packable, and quick drying. Heavy coats are not necessary except on Kilimanjaro climbs. If such climbs are on itinerary proper packing instructions will be included or needed equipment supplied in country.

Footwear. The footwear demands for the trekker may vary based on planned activities and other particulars of the itinerary. For most treks a light weight hiking boot or cross trainer type shoe  will be sufficient (with the exception of Kili climbs). a pair of sports sandals should also be brought along for bathing, water related activities and certain weather conditions.

Travel Sheet
A lightweight travel sheet or sleeping bag liner is a worthy investment and useful in a variety of situations.

Hat/visor. Given Tanzania's latitudinal location within the tropics the sun can be intense necessitating the need for protection. Some type of hat or visor that serves to provide protection from the sun’s radiation should be packed. 

Sunscreen. See above. Sweat proof/waterproof variety in travel size container is best.

Insect repellant. Conditions conducive to propagation of insects exist in many regions of the country.  Special care will be given to prevent bites by natural means but repellant will be used when necessary.   

Bandanas. Good for a range of uses.

Photographic Equipment. Photography is a wonderful way to document ones travels and adventurECO encourages it when appropriate. However, fragile, bulky, or expensive equipment is not recommended.
