Speak up if you have any problems or concerns. Do not keep it to yourself or amongst fellow guests. Do not be afraid to ask for help or advice. Keeping feelings and opinions out in the open is the only way we can learn and be of help.

Always use your common sense when working around the animals and plants. Remember that no matter how tame some of them may appear they are wild and potentially dangerous animals and prone to unpredictable behaviour. Always remember and observe the “Hands Off Policy”.

Don’t feel you have to do anything you feel incapable of doing.

As you will be working in a hot and often-unfamiliar climate take sensible precautions; drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and wear sunscreen and a sun hat when working in the direct sun. Also wear insect repellent to avoid mosquito bites.

There is a medicine cabinet stocked with all the essential medicines if you become sick as well as a first aid kit. There will also be a doctor available in Samboja village for any serious problems.

If you see a snake, don’t panic, and call one of the staff. There are a few dangerous species in the area, e.g. cobras, so always keep an eye out when walking around, and stay on main paths and away from the forest and long grass unless you are escorted by staff. Also keep an eye out for scorpions.

Again, sorry for so many rules but we have many individuals (both human and non-human) to keep safe!
