Our fellow villagers are very friendly people, however it’s advisable to follow some basic rules:
Greetings
To exchange greetings is very important, also if you don’t know the people. Take some time to greet and you’ll get a smile in return.
Clothing
Dress modestly. Our people are not used to see short skirts and naked bellies. Try to think about this when you choose your day’s outfit. Keep your bikini for on safari or at the swimming pool.
Photo's
When you take photographs of people it’s advisable to ask permission first. Some will refuse, but most of them will have no objections. Don’t pay for a photo, if they agree it’s for free.
Financial aid
Most likely you will encounter people who will ask you a favor or financial support. We generally don’t stimulate you to do so because this will increase their dependence on tourists. We strongly advise you not to give anything to begging kids. They should attend school instead of dwelling on the street in search of ‘wazungu’ (white men). You can help the villagers the best by donating something to the school or the dispensary rather than by supporting individuals.
