Also, from REI or a similar store you can buy a type of tick spray that you can spray on your clothes. It lasts a couple weeks, whether or not you wash your clothes. If your room is equipped with mosquito netting, use it. Be sure to check with a travelers immunization clinic for appropriate shots for Tanzania and any other countries you plan to visit. Water A water bottle is a necessity.
Water needs to be boiled for drinking or brushing teeth.
You can buy bottled water, or you can treat your own with Clorox or iodine pills check with your pharmacist. Individual heating coils for boiling water can be bought cheaply in Nairobi. Tours If you have an extra day or two before or after the meetings, take time to see some of Africa. Groups may want to climb together. I suggest you contact Roger Brodis who s organizing a climb.
