Etiquette
When sharing a vehicle, pontoon boat or canoe with other guests
please maintain respectable behaviour for the enjoyment of
all on the activity. Failing this
may result in a very uncomfortable situation especially if you`re sharing
a small intimate, bush camp. Always remember that wildlife is not used
to manmade
noises
and will maintain a safety or flight distance if disturbed.
Please follow your guide’s instructions at all times in regard to
behavior around wildlife and in addition please consider the following
points.
-
Please do not smoke if you are sharing a vehicle, canoe or boat with a non-smoker
who is not traveling with your group. The guide will pull over at convenient
times to allow for smoke breaks.
- Remember that the wildlife of the area is wild, and will not respond favorably
to man made noises and distractions. Please do not clap, whistle or make sudden
movements to attract an animal’s attention. This is more likely to scare
it away.
- Please keep noise level to a minimum so as not to disturb the other guests
or the wildlife that everyone is here to enjoy. However please feel free to ask
and discuss anything of interest with your guide or other guests.
- When canoeing take special care to avoid banging the side of your canoe with
the paddle, especially when close to animals, as this sound has a tendency to
travel great distance across the water and alert wildlife.
- Please do not stand up in your canoe or mokoro. You may see your guide standing
from time to time to gain a better view of potential hazards. This is not advisable
unless you have a great deal of experience in a canoe. Many animals will flee
if they identify a human shape as opposed to that of the canoe, and the canoe
becomes very unstable with a standing passenger, greatly increasing your chances
of a capsize.
- Lastly please do not litter or remove anything for the parks and concessions
during your travels. The great African saying comes to mind.
- Take nothing but photographs and memories and leave nothing but tracks
