In rain forest I keep my equipment stored with desiccant as much as 
possible, usually in plastic bags inside my backpack or belly-pack. 
another option is to rent microphones for the trip. You'd treat them 
just as carefully as your own but would be covered by insurance. You 
also have the option of using the mike you think best versus the mike 
you have....
