Packing for
Essentials

Sunscreen SPF 50

DEET or picaridin repellent
Eight rain days create standing water where mosquitoes breed.
Travel first aid kit
Rural terrain far from clinics means treating minor wounds yourself.
Filter water bottle
Tap water isn't safe here. A filter bottle beats buying plastic twice a day.

This country runs on Type G. Get one with USB-C so you're not fighting over the single outlet.
Power bank 10k–20k mAh
Eight rain days and remote parks mean days without power outlets.
