Awake at day

Who you could meet right now.

Before a real sighting

Watch like
a guest.

Keep your distance

If the animal changes what it is doing because of you, you are too close.

Never feed or touch

Food and contact change wild behaviour and can harm both of you.

Go with a local guide

They know the trails, the rules and where animals can be seen safely.
