Strict Observation Protocols
Safety for both client and wildlife is paramount.
No Handling Policy
We strictly enforce a hands-off policy for all reptiles. Stress can be fatal to chameleons, and handling venomous species is an unnecessary risk. Photography only.
Safe Distances
Nile crocodiles are observed exclusively from boats or elevated safe banks. We never approach basking spots on foot without a barrier.
