How Safe Is Jungle Walk?
We have to say that doing Jungle walk is not 100% safe, But Before we start jungle walk, we brief about safety ideas and do’s and does not in the Park, When we go for Jungle Walk safari in Jungle, we always keep silent because keeping silent is kinds of safety, and wild Animals always feel threatened or curious with a loud sound. so they may to charge. so, keeping silent is good and most important in the jungle walk.
Keeping more than 20-30m distance from the wild animals is the best safe distance and if you keep your distance from Animals, They don’t feel a threat. distancing with wild animals is kinds of respect, so they don’t feel threat.
color matters with the wild animals, color create disturbance. you need to wear jungle friendly color or camouflage clothes. Wild Animals feel treat and curious with colorful clothes. Wearing red, yellow, and white color is Dangerous in the jungle.
We believe that, we Humans are one of the most dangerous animal in the World, so for us, we don’t need a reason for attack but other Animals are not like us they need some reason. If we make some kind of environment that makes feel threat OR trap then Animal comes to charge. so during the jungle walk, we don’t make these kinds of environment
There are some situation of the Animal, such as the fighting moment of animal, mating moment of animals and mother with baby are dangerous and they dare to charge or they come to charge human. So during the jungle trek if we hear the sound of fighting animals we keep our distance or we go somewhere, where our skilled guide feel the safe and if we found the food mark of mother and baby animal we try to skip the area. and even mating time of the animal we don’t go closer to them and we don’t make such activities that they feel disturb.,
