What Not to Do on Safari: Keep the Adventure Safe and Fun

Your safari is an incredible adventure, but there are a few things you should avoid to ensure that everyone stays safe and enjoys the journey. Here’s what not to do:

1. Don’t Approach the Animals: While it might be tempting to get closer for that perfect photo, always remember that wild animals can be unpredictable. Keep your distance and enjoy the view from a safe spot.
2. Avoid Loud Noises: The magic of a safari lies in the tranquility of nature. Loud noises can startle animals and disturb the peace, so keep conversations quiet and avoid sudden loud sounds.
3. Don’t Litter: The beauty of the wilderness is something we all must protect. Keep your trash with you and dispose of it properly to preserve the natural environment for everyone to enjoy.
4. Refrain from Flash Photography: Flash can disturb animals and ruin the experience for everyone. Turn off the flash on your camera and capture the moment naturally.
5. Don’t Stray from the Group: Your safety is our priority. Always stay with your group and follow your guide’s instructions to ensure a safe and enjoyable safari.

6. Do not ride outside the roads of the parks

   • Vehicles must circulate within the roads. One of the greatest threats of parks and their life is the soil erosion due to vehicle traffic off the roads. In this sense, it is the responsibility of both drivers and travelers to be respectful with this standard.

7. Remember that our night vision is worse than animals

   • Do not expect to see animals at night, our night vision is not adapted for it. They will detect us long before we perceive.
   • If you sleep in a tented camp or not fenced property, always ask to staff of the accommodation, which accompany you on the way between bedrooms and the dining area.

8. Never get off the vehicle without asking your guide if it is safe to do so, it is strictly prohibited

   • Although there is a very tempting picture, a picture perfect, we never will risk our lives. Although it seems difficult to understand, this is still cause accidents.
   • If you need to stop to pee, warns the driver, he will know where to stop the vehicle safely to what is colloquially known as «check tire pressure».

9. Beware expectations. A safari is not going to the zoo

   • You can not always see all the animals you would like, or the best moments we all remember from great television documentaries.
   • The parks are huge, animals are unpredictable and during certain hours of the day are hidden from the sun.
   • Drivers and guides want the traveler is happy and so will try to locate as many animals as possible
