Stay safe around
wild animals
Summer is the busiest time for South African National Parks which means run ins
with animals will increase along with emergency room visits. Lions and elephants,
for example, are animals to watch out for, but it is the small mammals that often
pose the biggest threat.
Teach your children about safety around animals.
If you are going on game drives, map out your route and discuss it with family and
other passengers.
Keep your distance from wild animals.
Avoid animals that are behaving strangely.
Be aware of cubs as they can easily injure you – their mothers will be nearby to
protect them from harm, reacting to anyone or anything that might pose a threat.
Be aware of your surroundings when you are in nature.
Maintain a safe distance from riverbanks.
Consider wearing protective gear like snake protection gear.
Always have a first aid kit handy for unforeseen injuries and illnesses.
Always stay connected by packing a phone so that you can call Netcare 911 on 082
911 if you need medical help.
