1)
Wild animals
have their
distinct
daily and
seasonal
patterns
of activities.
a baisc
knowledge
of these
patterns
increases
one's chances
of seeing
them. The
frequency
of wildlife
sightings
in national
parks and
reserves
varies,
depending
on the time
of year.In
India the
best times
are from
February
to May,during
these months
the trees
are often
bare, so
visibility
is considerably
improved.
Since there
is also
a general
scarcity
of water,
the animals
concentrate
near sources
of water.
2)
Organize
your Wildlife
safari early
in the mornings
and late
in afternoons.
In the winter,
afternoon
safaris
are better
as there
is often
a thick
mist in
the morning.
3)
While Playing
and feeding,Animals
are most
conspicuous
and most
likely to
spot.
4)
One
should avoid
wearing
bright colors
that make
you conspicuous.
Jungle-green,
kakhi, beige,
camouflage
are preferred
for tropical
and sub-tropical
environments,
but in the
Himalayas,
where snow
is present,
light neutral
colours
may be most
suitable.
5)
Animals
are very
wary of
the human
voice. So,
in order
to get close
to them,
absolute
silence
is essential.
6)
Wild Animals
living in
closed environments
have an
exceptional
sense of
smell and
will detect
and avoid
human scent.
While Stalking
animals,
it is therefore
important
to stay
downwind
of them
or you will
give your
presence
away sooner
than you
think, especially
if there
is a gentle
breeze.
For the
same reason
avoid wearing
perfumes
and, if
using insect
repellant,
choose the
kind that
smells the
least.
