The itinerary may vary according to the weather and the water levels. In the end our group only walked part-way to Tukeit as the water was high and the boat could get up Waratuk Falls; the same day we climbed from Tukeit to the top of Kaieteur thus saving a day. (Our climbing time was also much less as we were not tired.) Other groups have had a much tougher time - particularly those who had 5 days of rain.

Cost
Price may be reduced for a VSO group (of at least 8 people): we paid US $380 each. However, air fares and diesel costs have gone up - so prices will have done as well. This price includes all transport, food and drink. We carried some rum (for medicinal purposes)!!

Accommodation and Food
You provide (and carry) your own travel hammock, rope and net. If not, the guides will provide one - although not a travel version. Check this with the office in advance. Static camps (wooden frames) are in place at each campsite, and tarpaulins are used to cover, in theory keeping out the rain (!). ‘Toilets’ are a cutlass and a space in the woods! Food is catered for by the guides (make sure you mention in advance if you have any dietary requirements as all food is carried in from Georgetown and Mahdia). The guides carry all food / cooking implements / cutlery / plates / cups etc.
