House Rules

Night Safety

Do not walk around outside after dark (between sunset and sunrise) due to predators in the area.

Keep doors locked and windows closed when you are away, as baboons can open unlocked doors and cause significant damage.

Animal Feed

Purchase suitable animal feed and fodder only at the Marloth Park shopping centres.

Animal Distance

Maintain a respectable distance from animals and do not hand feed any animals; they are habituated to humans but remain wild and undomesticated.

Noise Levels

Keep noise levels low, no loud music, fireworks or parties are allowed as sound travels easily in the bush.

Fire Safety

No fires on windy days. Put fires out before going to sleep. Do not throw coals into the bushes. Bonfires are forbidden.
