How to make good decisions on a safari

One of the most challenging aspects of life is making the most appropriate decisions. This becomes even more complicated when on a safari to a country where you have never been before with people of completely different cultures from yours. In such a situation, one has to be very careful when choosing what to do and who to follow. Many tourists think that by just reading books and other related literature about the intent travel destination is just enough which is not true. There is more to that and tourists are always advised to be vigilant and knowledgeable about the “dos and don’ts’” of a given safari destination.

Coming up with the right decision in a foreign country is something which every tourist need to know about so as to avoid making mistakes that can affect their trip or even end up in jail. One of the key things one should avoid is following others. One should have a stand in every decision and should not just do anything because a friend has done so. One of the things which make people to make mistakes on their visit is that they do things simply because they have seen others do them. They don’t think positively when choosing what to do and they end up making regrettable mistakes.

For visitors take some alcohol, they stand higher chances of making regrettable mistakes especially if one is in a country like Uganda where alcohol is widely used and people party all night. Although some people claim that they can control their actions when high (after taking a lot of alcohol), the brain at this moment can do anything so long as the body demands. This is the reason why a tourist is advised to drink alcohol from a safe place most importantly under the watch of a tour guide or someone who can be trusted.

Another reason for making mistakes while coming up with decisions by visitors is failure to learn and fit in the new culture. Since most of the African cultures are different from those in other continents, many visitors find it hard to fit I the society and in the long-run make decision which in their thinking are ok. Some of the cultural things done in Europe, America and other continents may not be acceptable in Africa and it is important for a tourist to thieve out what to do and what to avoid. In most cases, a tour guide briefs visitors before they go on with their trip but this may not be enough as more dig into the cultural norms of the local people is wanting.

It’s therefore wiser to first have a deeper analysis of something before you accept to do or support it.
