  • You should respect the environment by staying on the designated paths, avoiding littering, not feeding anything to the animals, and maintain safe distance from the wild animals.
  • Bring the required gear, so pack your binoculars for birdwatching, a camera with a nice zoom lens, polarised sunglasses, and face masks.
