What not to do on African safari

What not to do on African safari. A lot of tourists love going on safaris in Uganda, Africa, but they need to be careful about a few things while they see animals in their natural environments. There are, however, rules that tourists must follow in order to have a safe and responsible safari. They are told to always treat the animals and the environment with care. If you are planning a trip to Uganda, here are 11 things you should not do:

1. Making animals sad

When you go on a wildlife tour in Uganda, one of the most important rules is to stay out of the way of the animals while you watch them. Tourists are told not to touch, feed, or bother animals, among other things, because doing so can hurt the species, change how they normally behave, and be very bad for their health.

2. Getting too close

When moving, tourists should stay away from wild animals in a safe and polite way so they don't get hurt. To take a picture with a mountain gorilla, people on gorilla hiking tours may want to get close to them, but doing so can make them stressed out, angry, or defensive. Because of this, people should do what your guide says or follow the park's rules about staying away.

3. Using a flash on a camera

When getting pictures or videos of animals, most people are told not to use flash lights on their phones or cameras because it can scare and stress them out. It's even worse that the flash shooting is not only annoying but can also be bad for their health. To stay out of trouble, people should always follow the rules when and where to use flash.

4. Making a lot of noise

Keep quiet while you're on safaris in Uganda. Don't play loud music, yell, or do anything else that might be annoying. The animals and the other people on the tour may both be bothered by these loud noises. When you go into the wild to watch animals, remember that they need to be able to see and hear you.

5. Getting out of the vehicle

Staying inside the car while on safaris in Uganda will ensure
that you stay safe. There are animals in the wild that could hurt you if you
walk through them. Also, the guides that go with guests know how to get around and talk about what they see, so everyone stays safe.

6. Ignoring safety briefing moments

Before going for your wildlife safari or gorilla trekking tour, it's
very important to pay close attention to the safety talk that the
guide gives. These will teach you about all the risks and the best ways to stay safe on your safaris in Uganda. Such as, if you are on a gorilla trekking tour, you will be told not to go off the forest paths because you could be attacked by a dangerous animal. This means that if you don't pay attention, these short talks could put your safety and the safety of those around you at risk.

7. Not sensitive about environmental pollution

People who go on safaris in Uganda for example the gorilla trekking tours are asked not to leave trash in protected areas and to properly get rid of any trash they do have. "Leave no trace" is a way of life that people should follow to protect the natural beauty of places and have as little waste as possible.

8. Not caring about the weather

During safaris in Uganda, the weather can change quickly, so guests should be ready for all sorts of weather. So, they are told to bring the right gear and clothes and to be aware that the weather could change how the animals act. Pay attention to what your tour guide tells you about how to handle these weather changes.

9. Not respecting native people

When tourists go on safaris in Uganda, they always have the chance to
meet people from the local communities. They are told to always show
these people respect and be aware of their culture because of this. One thing they should never do is take pictures of people without their permission. Another thing is do anything that might be seen as rude or annoying.

10. Putting on perfume while on tour in Uganda's national parks

When you plan your tour in Uganda, keep in mind that animals in the wild have very good smells and can find things from far away. For example, if you are going on a gorilla hiking tour, make sure you don't wear a strong perfume. Animals in the wild are more likely to be scared of strong or strange smells, like perfume. It's tougher to find them because they don't like smelly places. Even worse, some animal species might act worse when they smell something strange.

11. What you shouldn't bring on your Uganda trips

When travelers go on safaris in Uganda, they are advised not to bring things that could bother wildlife, like loud or bright clothes, strong smells,
or too many things that could get animals' attention and ruin your safari.
Besides what has already been said, there are other things that people should stay away from. They shouldn't be anxious, for example, and they should do what their guide tells them to do to stay healthy.
