Packing list

To answer the question of what exactly does one take for six to twelve months in Uganda, my packing list is below.

The biggest challenge so far has been the clothing. Given the unique environment of Uganda’s jungle, I need clothing that is quick dry, odor resistant, offers sun and insect protection, plus size, and is easy to hand wash! That's a tall order for clothing and unfortunately those pieces are expensive.

first aid kit
hiking boats
tevas
sneakers
koolmax socks
hiking socks
zipoff pants
short and long sleeve shirts
long skirts- needed for when I go in the schools. Woman don't wear pants in Uganda

gaitors- to keep my feet dry when I'm in the park. Uganda has two wet seasons.
