Wear clothing in muted colors
Deer raise their tails to expose the bright white underside as a warning call – so leave those crisp white shirts at home! Rhinos do not respond kindly to bright colors, such as white and red. Please do not wear these colors so you do not provoke a rhino to charge at you
Blending into the jungle colors helps camouflage you, so you can spot animals more easily
Recommended colors: Olive green, Sand, Brown, Black.
Keep quiet
Most animals in the jungle have excellent hearing, so you might scare them away without realising it if you talk
Animals are used to the lumbering sounds of the elephant and the drone of the LandRover, but respond to our speech with alarm.
If you must converse, do so in a lowered voice
Be alert
Most wild animals blend excellently into their surroundings, so they are nearly invisible to us. The key to successfully spotting wildlife is to watch out for movement – our eyes are naturally trained for that, you just need to practice it! Also keep your ears tuned for odd rustlings, often it is an animal quietly slipping away!
