Physical Requirements: All travelers must be in good health and prepared for travel in places without medical facilities. Participants must be able to climb into and out of private aircraft, safari vehicles, boats and pirogues un-aided. They should be capable of walking moderate distances at an easy pace over rough terrain, and be able to withstand hard riding four-wheel-drive vehicles that travel over dirt roads and sometimes rough, bumpy ground. While West Africa has a somewhat mild climate, weather can get hot and cold, with average temperatures for October range from 75 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In general, you will most enjoy the opportunities this expedition has to offer if you are willing to dispense with a few Western amenities and travel with flexibility and a spirit of adventure.
