Thoughtful wildlife encounters

Seeing elephants, leopards and birdlife in the wild is a highlight of many trips. A few simple choices help keep animals and habitats healthy.

Choose experiences carefully

Avoid attractions that involve riding, bathing with or watching performing animals. Observing animals in national parks is the most respectful way to see them.

On safari

Keep noise down, stay in the vehicle and do not ask drivers to get closer or crowd animals. Patience is usually rewarded.

Realistic expectations

Wild animals move freely, so sightings are never guaranteed. Spending more than one drive in a park improves your chances.
