In The Village

Guidance for living the Vision when you’re out and about in the village.

  • Stick to the paths and trails to protect fragile plants, nesting sites and habitats.

  • Avoid walking around with food — it attracts baboons. If one approaches, place the food down and move away calmly. Don’t mistake a baboon’s fear expression (lips pulled back with teeth bared) for aggression. 
  • Stay quiet and calm around wildlife. Don’t scare or try to intimidate them. That includes your pets, who should always be leashed.
  • Lock your car doors, even if you’re inside. Baboons know how to open them.
  • When driving, keep your speed at 20 kph and watch out for animals crossing.
  • Tell your visitors, guests, employees and contractors about these tips too.
