Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect Wildlife
Never pressure your guide to drive closer to animals than is safe. The migration is wild and unpredictable, so enjoy what you see from a respectful distance. Flash photography disturbs animals and is prohibited at close range.
Conservation Impact
Your safari fees fund wildlife conservation and local communities. The Masai Mara and Serengeti are protected because tourism makes wildlife more valuable alive than dead. Choose operators that employ local guides and support community projects.
