Wildlife Safety

• Don’t go wandering off on your own without a guide – even to your rooms. After retiring to your rooms at night, don’t leave them.

• Observe animals silently and with a minimum of disturbance to their natural activities. Talking loudly drives can frighten the animals away.

• Never attempt to attract an animal's attention. Don't imitate animal sounds, clap your hands, pound the vehicle or throw objects.

• Please respect your driver-guide's judgment about proximity to lions, cheetahs and leopards. Don't insist that he take the vehicle closer so you can get a better photograph.

• Litter tossed on the ground can kill or poison animals.

• Never attempt to feed or approach any wild animal on foot. Especially near lodges or in campsites where animals may have become in contact to human.

• No smoking on game drives. The bush catches on fire very easily, and a flash fire can be deadly.
