What to expect
You'll start early and move at a steady pace through the forest, stopping often to observe flora and listen. The air is humid and the canopy thick; bring water and pace yourself. Mid-morning you'll reach the canoe section for a quieter interlude on the water, then continue on foot to a lunch spot. The guide points out medicinal and structural plants used locally. Trails are clear but uneven; wear proper shoes. The reserve is safe and actively managed, so wildlife encounters are minimal. By late afternoon you'll return to base.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes, a hat, and apply sunscreen before starting. Bring a camera and a change of clothes; it can get muddy. Infants must sit on a carer's lap during transport. All gear and meals are provided. Public transport reaches the start point if you're not using the included pickup.
