Packing List

by ATLC

Bag that travels along easily in small planes. No need for special electricity plugs. They're the same as in northern European countries (Netherlands, Germany...) Clothing:Something longsleeved for evenings (mosquitos), as well because November evenings are cool (12-18 Celsius).Shoes:these get really dusty and dirty. If you mind that, take along some polish!Weather Gear:thought it would rain but it didn't much. And the hot weather lets you dry quickly. So my rain jacket wasn't needed. - injection needles for when you need injections there (security against Aids)- medication against diarrhoea- medication against dehydration- Anti mosquito stuff- A lotion against swollen legs/feet during long flights - It's of great importance to use malaria pills and to take them meticuously. If you get malaria once, you will suffer from it your whole life. I took Lariam, which for me had no side...

Take all your old stuff and leave it there. People often don't have any decent clothes and will be very happy with anything you have to offer. If you don't know who to give it to, look for and elderly person. They are higly respected and will make a wise decision.

This is for a 3 and half week trip1 Ruck sack, I used Karrimore Juguar 75 Liters, and 1 small Daysack. A good pair of Hiking boots are the most important thing you'll take. Make sure they are worn in and are water proof. I have a pair of Merrel 45. They are excelent, but do have good traction on smooth surfaces like wet rocks7 x walking socks1 Pair cotton trowsesWater poof top and bottom Larium (Anti Malaria)ParacetamolBandagePlastersNeedles for injection (If you do go to hospitol you want to bring you own needles)Tree tree oil (it anti bactarial, anti fungal, and releaves insect bites) Bring all the film, and batteried you'll need.There will be nowhere to recharge batteries tourch, and all the bateries tyou need. I:d recommend 1x AA Maglite, and 1x D MagliteCandles, so you can save you'r touch batteries at night. LighterToilet paperStringSewing KitSleeping sheets ( depending on the...

ANTI-MALARIAL PROPHYLACTICS... which you need to start taking a couple of weeks before your trip. In Madagascar the chloroquin-resistant strain of malaria is prevalent, so a drug called 'lariam' is often prescribed. Personally, I had a bad experience with lariam -- in some people it can affect the liver and make one sick -- so I would recommend asking your doctor what all your options are.

Mosquito net is a must.

by gazellen

My Teva sandals goes every were. And a good pair of walking boots. A rain coat for the rainy season. Mosquito net.
