How to Travel Responsibly on Safari

Simple choices that protect wildlife, respect communities and create a better journey for everyone.

Responsible safari travel begins with following park rules and respecting the instructions of trained guides and rangers.

Keep a safe distance from wildlife, avoid feeding animals, reduce noise and never pressure a guide to leave marked routes where it is prohibited.

Use refillable water bottles where practical, minimise single-use plastics and dispose of waste correctly.

Ask before photographing people, support locally owned businesses and choose cultural experiences that are respectful rather than staged or exploitative.

Conservation works best when tourism benefits both protected areas and neighbouring communities.
