Safari etiquette
The Kruger National Park is a wilderness area with wild and potentially dangerous animals. Millions of visitors come each year, without incident but ensure safety and the continuation of the park there are a few simple rules:
- Take only photographs, leave only footprints. Standard travel advice but perhaps the most important of all
- Never corner or trap an animal, the response is unpredictable
- when vieiwing keep noise to a minimum, loud noises, voices music etc will upset animals
- do not attempt to attract the attention of the wildlife through imitating noises.
- Stick to the roads and designated tracks, driving off road causes erosion and destabilises habitat.
- Do NOT litter. again a basic for anywhere in the world,but in this case potentially life threatening to brids and animals.
- If you must smoke please only do it in the restcamps, and make sure cigarettes are fully extinguished. Winters and dry and some bush fires are a constant risk.
- Do not alight from your vehicle, except in rest camps and designated areas.
- Whether walking or driving, LISTEN to your guide, they are trained experts.
- If you ar going on a safari always make sure the comany and guides are registered to ensure you have the best possible experience
