VITAL INFORMATION

HEALTH:

Yellow Fever: This is compulsory and a certificate might be requested on arrival at the airport. Please make sure that you have the shot in time.

Malaria: There are various types of medicine on the market today used for prevention and treatment of malaria. We recommend that you consult your doctor on which prophylactics to take.

Water purification tablets: On the mountain, we use water from the streams. Although drinking water will be boiled first, it is advisable to add a tablet or two - to be on the safe side.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS): This is a condition commonly experienced at high altitude. In most cases, this can be avoided by following guidelines on hiking pace, eating, resting and fluid intake. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the various affects that altitude can cause. (Please consult your doctor on use of Diamox - tablets used by some mountaineers to help them cope with the effects of altitude).

Personal medical supplies (optional): As your tour leaders, we will carry a group medical kit.
Some items that you might want to carry would include; aspirin, Imodium, laxatives, antibiotics, bandages, malaria tablets, gauze, adhesives, betadine, throat lozenges, eye drops, sun block, lip balm, moleskin antihistamine tablets and cream.

The team is always more powerful than the individual - hidden resources make the difference when the going gets tough.
The best leader sets a pace that allows all of the team to make it to the goal.
You can't make a big journey without skilled and dedicated support people.
The only way to tackle big challenges is to break them down into smaller goals and achieve them one at a time.
The present is your point of power - it's the only place where you have a chance to influence the material world.
