Security
and level of fitness required
- Visitors need to
be in good physical shape as we wake up early and
go to bed late sometimes after a long day's hike or boat
ride. The humid climate can be quite tiring.
- Visits are
organised for groups of a maximum of 4
persons.
- Children under
the age of 16 are not accepted.
- Visiting a
reserve can be dangerous if simple rules of common sense
and security are not observed. Follow the instructions of
the guides at all times when hiking in the forest, do not
approach animals, and avoid moving about the camp at
night.
- It is strongly
recommended to take out an insurance for medical
evacuation.
