Make sure their activities do not disturb/influence the life of the animals (avoid making noise, coming too close to the animals, or feeding the animals without the guide’s permission)
Make sure they are polite and respectful to the people from a different culture (asking permission to take pictures is one of the important points)
Respect the social and cultural integrity of the communities, the pace of the daily life, the traditions, habits and privacy
Avoid giving direct donations (it creates dependency and encourages begging rather than working. You are welcome to make indirect donations to institutions such as schools, hospitals, etc.)
Stay positive to make sure everyone enjoys the trip!
