We have chosen to travel to remote locations so that you may experience the true Alaskan wilderness... you will experience both the comfort of the main lodge and the native splendor of the unspoiled Alaskan country. Your clothing should reflect this as well. Lightweight, packable clothing that stays dry and dries quickly is a must. Don't pack heavy- pack smart! Our SAFARICAMP® and WILDERNESS SAFARI are more active trips and spend more time outdoors than the GREATLAND SAFARI and therefore require more "high performance" clothing. The general idea is be able to get your gear into one soft-sided duffle and one midsize daypack. Start with good "new generation" long underwear, add pants or shorts, then finish off with good Gore Tex style rain suit. (Latex/nylon will work in a pinch but perspiration is often a problem). Good footwear is also a must- plan on water resistant, high top hiking shoes with a solid sole and good tread- this will pay off on our shorter or longer hikes but also work well for day cruising, lounging around at the main lodge or one of the remote camps and fishing from a boat.

Be sure to have a Mid-sized day pack to what you need for a couple days at a time. You will be able to leave any larger bags at whichever lodge your safari is based out of.

BE READY FOR ANYTHING!

If you have planned a stay at one of our remote camps it is good to have a day pack type backpack to just the clothes you need for the stay.

Not a problem. Nothing a little bug spray can't handle.

Happy Hour is complementary as is wine in your room when you arrive. Additional beverages are available at a nearby package store. Ice and coolers are available for your rooms if desired.
