Eco-friendly travel
- Water is precious, especially in the Western Cape: take short showers.
- On safari, stay in your vehicle and keep your distance from animals.
- Choose ethical wildlife experiences: no cub petting, no walking with lions.
- Never buy ivory, rhino horn or wildlife products.
- Respect penguins at Boulders Beach: stay on the boardwalks.
- Load-shedding (planned power cuts) can happen: keep a torch and a charged phone.
