To emerge yourself in these surroundings while staying safe, we ask you to take the mentioned precautionary measures:
- For your safety and the preservation of the natural habitat, please maintain a respectful distance from wildlife. By allowing them space, they will reciprocate by not approaching you. Please try and refrain from running if ever you encounter wildlife.
- Please stay on the campsites & pathways at night, don’t go wandering in the bush.
- Children must be supervised at all times.
- Ensure there are no openings to your tent or camper at night. While
animals typically aren’t interested in tents, it’s best not to invite curiosity by creating new, unexplored openings. - Please do not feed the animals, this is to ensure they remain wild and
maintain their natural behaviors. - Do not litter or leave bones and food scraps around the campsite,
as this can attract animals during the night. Help preserve our reserve and ensure your own safety by using the provided trash bins.
Our no-pets policy is in place to protect the wildlife that calls the reserve home, while also ensuring the safety and well-being of our guests, their animals, and the delicate natural ecosystem. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us preserve this unique wilderness experience for everyone.
