How tourists are staying safe on safari

For Mateo, this has meant practicing the key hygiene behaviours that reduces the chance of catching the virus. “Before coming on safari, I was slightly concerned about Covid-19, particularly as there could be a chance of interacting with international tourists that have travelled from high-risk countries. However before I travelled, I was assured by the guides that all the measures were in place to keep people safe and healthy. As someone with asthma, I have to take extra precaution, and so since the journey has started, I wore a facemask when on the plane, and on arrival in the Serengeti, I have practiced regular hand washing - even washing my hands up to 10 times a day! It has been quite easy to practice social distancing and the hotels are not so busy. All the staff are wearing face masks so I haven’t felt exposed,” says Mateo.
