What we plan around at JRO.
Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.
The bush-plane handoff — and its hard limits.
Camps are reached by light aircraft with a 15 kg total allowance including hand luggage, and bags must be 100% soft-sided — no wheels, no hard cases. Non-compliant bags are left behind. We pack the onward provisioning to those exact rules.
Plastic is illegal — so our packaging is plastic-free.
Tanzania bans all plastic bags, including cling film and plastic wrap. We pack accordingly. This is a compliance requirement, not a preference.
