The Wildlife Code

•    Respect the privacy of the wildlife. You are in their habitat!

•    Beware of animals. They are wild and can be unpredictable.

•    Do not crowd the animals or make sudden noises or movements.

•    Do not feed animals. It upsets their diet, imbalances the natural food supply and leads to human dependence.

•    Keep quiet. Noise disturbs wildlife and may antagonize your fellow visitors.

•    Stay in your vehicle at all times, except at designated picnic or walking areas but be careful.

•    Keep below the maximum speed limit (40 kph/25 mph).

•    Never drive off-road, this severely damages wild habitat and potentially destroy eggs of animals who lay them on the ground.

•    When viewing wildlife keep to a minimum distance of 20 meters and pull to the side of the road to allow others to pass.

•    Leave no litter and never leave fires unattended or discard burning objects including cigarettes.

•    Respect the cultural heritage of Kenya. Do not take pictures of local people or their habitat without asking their permission.

•    Respect the cultural traditions of Kenya and dress with decorum.

•    Stay over or leave before dusk. Visitors must vacate national parks between 6.00pm-6.00am unless they are camping overnight.

1) Night game driving is not allowed in parks.
