Avoid making others uncomfortable
Nature is peaceful, and that is why you are advised to see everyone equally to help you connect with the land. Avoid any sexual behavior that is not allowed in Uganda, because this can lead to punishment or even imprisonment.
When it comes to filming or taking photos, respect everyone’s privacy. If someone does not want to be in your videos or pictures, do not force it. Always ask for permission from the right people first.
Littering is not allowed
Dry months come with many fun activities in the jungle, but if you feel like eating a snack, make sure to keep your rubbish until you find a proper bin.
Some waste can harm the animals and may even cause their death if not handled well.
