What to pack for Democratic Republic of Congo

Luggage and bags: For gorillas treking the small bag is recommended. as you can walk 1hour to locate gorilla in the park.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Don?t forget a light raincoat, as you will be in a rain forest for gorillas trekking, and good walking shoes, socks and a hat. To avoid stinging nettles, garden gloves are recommended

A light sweater for the evenings is recommended and generally long sleeves and trousers worn to keep the mosquitoes away.

If you swim, bring your swimming costume, the main hotels in DRC all have swimming pools.

A torch is recommended olso.
About credit cards very few places in drc accept either credit cards or traveller's checks. bringing dollars notes its wise.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: The only one you will need for Congo is Yellow Fever. and dont forget to see your doctor about malaria precautions. Dont drink water from the taps. You will be able to get bottled water wherever you go in many shops.

Photo Equipment: Camera and film

Bring both camera and film, and plenty of batteries.

Luggage and bags: Back pack

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Light and warm for chilly nights/mornings and hot days. Change is quite dramatic going up mountains and coming down to lakes again. Sturdy boots highly recomended at times slippers will do as well. Raincoat or similar.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Everything you deem necessary and could not be bothered to hunt for on local markets.

Photo Equipment: Same as above. Film was quite expensive then.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Sleeping bag all seasons. Selfinflatable airmattres.

Miscellaneous: French dictionary or phrasebook if your french is too rusty. It's my only time I make this suggestion but here I deem it necessary as it can get you out of troubles. See also warnings and you'll know why. So it's not just for conversation about the weather.
