for critical concerns which may lead to inability to visit certain stops.

3. The lead guest is responsible for assuring the physical fitness and mental readiness of all

signed the waiver form to be provided by the georeserve’ staff before further entering the
trail.

inappropriate, threatening, hostile or offensive behavior and acts.
 What to Bring

1. Kindly bring valid IDs and extra clothes inside the georeserve. We highly discourage bringing
of large bags and unnecessary items inside the trails, which may make the experience less
comfortable for you.

2. Please bring your water jugs/tumblers - there are certain refilling stations inside the trail. This
is at Batis (briefing area) and Amihan (rest stop). Typically, guests would consume 1-2 litres
of water.

3. Meals are not allowed to be brought inside. For your comfort, please eat a sufficient meal
prior to the trail. The georeserve can allow trail food such as peanuts, chocolate, trail mixes,
and biscuits. Minalot meals for lunch will be served in the Amihan area.

4. As there may be a couple more roads to get to and around the georeserve, we strongly
recommend you bring a private vehicle. For large groups going to Silayan or Pine Patch areas,
kindly use coasters, vans or 4x4 vehicles, instead of buses since there will be steep, winding
and rough roads.

What to Wear

1. Do wear comfortable hiking attire and non-slip, closed shoes suitable for a hike. Slippers are
not allowed inside the reserve. For added comfort, you may also bring gloves.

2. There may be bouts of drizzles and rain from time to time. We recommend you bring extra
clothes and clothing articles appropriate for the season (i.e. raincoats or rain jackets, and
hats).
 Georeserve Policies
Our conservation policies revolve around the idea that the georeserve is a sanctuary and home for animal and
plant life. Appropriately, as visitors, we must treat the area with respect and conscientiousness. We then kindly
enjoin our guests to take part in our way of conduct in the area. These are consistently practiced across our
management, our members, and our guests. Masungi Georeserve reserves the right to charge penalties, deny
entry, or escort out of the premises any person who violates the following policies:

1. Access to the georeserve including the trail is designed for end-use, private groups only. Visits must be
requested and arranged ahead of time.
2. Only children 13 and 10 years of age (regardless of experience and height) are allowed in the
Discovery Trail and Legacy Trail, correspondingly, for safety purposes.
3. Absolutely no littering of any kind allowed, as part of our LEAVE NO TRACE POLICY. With that
said ensure that packaging and all loose objects such as cameras, sunglasses, etc. are secured and will
not fall off.
4. The park is strictly a non-smoking zone due to the air and health pollution that it causes. Its
alternatives are likewise not allowed. Smoking instruments (lighters, cigars, e-cigarettes, etc.) are to be
surrendered at the georeserve entrance, or be kept in the car.
5. Noise is not permitted as these may post strain on the area’s wildlife and be disruptive for other
guests. Use of music in the Events Hall may be allowed, provided that it will be on a moderate
volume level only.
6. Should you be fortunate to encounter wildlife, do not feed or touch the animals. This may include
monitor lizards, snakes, civet cats, cloud rats, and monkeys, among others. Picking up flowers, rocks,
and other specimens are likewise prohibited. All of these are here for everyone to enjoy. Ensure that
permission is sought from the management should this be necessary.
7. Omit personal tipping. This ensures non-interference of visits to priority conservation work and
encourages consistency in experience among guest visits.
8. When going in the Trail, always listen and follow the safety instructions that will be shared by park
rangers.
