What You Need to Know about Wildlife ViewingA

Observing wildlife on a safari is an exciting and unique experience that allows you to witness the wonders of nature up close. However, it is important to keep in mind that wildlife encounters can be unpredictable, and there are inherent risks involved. Take note of the following points:

1. Safety First: While every effort is made to ensure your safety during a safari, wild animals are unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Always follow the instructions of your trained guide or safari ranger and adhere to the designated viewing areas and safety protocols.
   
   

2. Respect Wildlife: It is crucial to maintain a respectful distance from the animals and never approach them on foot unless specifically instructed by your guide. Never feed them. Keep in mind that you are a guest in their natural habitat, and disturbing their behavior or natural patterns is strongly discouraged.
   
   

3. No Guarantees: Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed, as animals roam freely and follow their natural instincts. Even in well-known wildlife reserves or national parks, the presence of certain species cannot be guaranteed at all times. Patience and understanding are key while exploring the wilderness. We have been fortunate to have a 100% viewing on all gorilla treks by Kwezi Outdoors.
   
   

4. Environmental Impact: Safeguarding the environment and minimizing your ecological footprint is vital. Do not litter, and dispose of waste responsibly. Follow any guidelines provided by our safari guides or wildlife rangers to ensure that you leave no trace behind and preserve the natural habitats for future generations.
   
   
5. Conservation Efforts: On our fishing safaris, we practice sustainable fishing methods to ensure the long-term preservation of fish populations. Sport fishing on all our boats is conducted with a catch-and-release approach, to promote responsible angling and conservation of fish stocks.
   
   
6. Photography Etiquette: Taking photographs is a popular activity during safaris, but it is essential to respect the animals and their well-being. Avoid using flash photography, as it can startle or distress the animals. Additionally, refrain from interfering with their natural behavior for the sake of capturing the perfect shot.
   
   
7. Unpredictable Weather: Weather conditions can affect wildlife sightings and overall safari experiences. Changes in climate, seasonal variations, or unforeseen circumstances may impact the availability of certain species or alter the itineraries. Flexibility and adaptability are key to enjoying your safari to the fullest.
