Why Safaris Are Safer Than You Think

• Trained Guides & Rangers: Professional rangers are highly experienced in reading animal behavior and ensuring your safety.

• Secure Safari Lodges: Camps and lodges are designed with guest safety in mind, with staff available around the clock.

• Well-Maintained Vehicles: Safari jeeps are built for off-road terrain and managed by expert drivers.

What Travelers Should Remember

• Follow Instructions: Always listen to your guide—safety comes first.

• Stay Inside Vehicles: Animals see vehicles as neutral objects; stepping out breaks that illusion.

• Night Safety: Don’t walk unaccompanied after dark in camp—staff are always there to escort you.

Safe for Families & Couples

Safaris are not only safe for Americans, GCC travelers, and Indians, but also popular for families with young children and honeymooning couples. Operators design itineraries with comfort and security as top priorities.
