Hiking in Ekiti-State
THE NECESSARY “10S”

Closed-Toe Shoes-Light easy to move and run shoes, preferably sneakers. You don’t want a shoe that will drag you behind your hiking mates, do you? For ladies sandals, high heels are terrible ideas for hiking, no cat walk in hiking.
Comfortable Clothing– A light t-shirt and probably trousers that you’re comfortable with, I have gone hiking once and someone wore full traditional regalia, he probably must have mistaken hiking for a wedding.
Insect Repellent– Insect especially mosquitoes and soldier ants are never friendly especially during long hike in dense forests (like the hike to Owu falls in Kwara State), if you have insect repellents apply to skin, clothing, or other surfaces to discourage insects . A soldier ant in your pants is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
Camera-Yeah be it phone camera, a DSLR camera, just come along with one. You need to capture those wonderful memories and of course you will also want to “pepper” your friends after the hike.
Sunscreen
Power bank- You surely need this! What happens when just as you are about to capture a fascinating moment your battery beeps low?
Water bottle and Snack Pack– You will get dehydrated and hungry for sure, always go with a water bottle and a snack pack.
And of course a Good mood- Keep your bad mood under your pillow, come hiking with smiles, spread your laughter around as it’s contagious

Thanks for sharing this report. I would suggest reading this for everyone who's going hiking or camping these days. Choosing proper gear is essential for your travel because otherwise, you will probably feel discomfort or even get injured. Nobody definitely wants that! Your section about choosing shoes is nice, but I would also recommend getting a pair of good warm socks. According to this page, there are different types of it specially designed for different weather and humidity.
Carrying extra batteries for your phone and flashlight is also worth considering.
