Best moment in the national park

If you're an adventurer who loves being out in nature, a hiking or trekking tour should be next on your list. You can expect great wildlife photography opportunities and a great chance to travel with a group of like-minded individuals who love the great outdoors. Here are few tips to make your wildlife adventure a much more safe and memorable journey.

  • Observe wildlife without disturbing it. If an animal changes its behaviour because of your presence, it means you are too close. It is also helpful to have an idea about the behavioural patterns of the fauna you are likely to encounter. Animals can act differently depending on the season, location and their own species-specific life cycle.
  • The best times for viewing wildlife are generally first thing in the morning and late afternoon/early evening. You enhance your chances simply by finding a spot, sitting down and waiting. Be patient. The more you move around, the more conspicuous you are. By staying put, in effect you become part of the scenery and subsequently represent less of a threat.
  • Minimize your visual impact by wearing neutrally coloured clothing. Same applies for your shelter and pack. The objective is to blend in, rather than stand out from your surroundings. The important exception to this point is if you are hiking in an area in which hunters are active. In this case, wearing bright orange or other conspicuously coloured clothing is recommended.
